"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Frigid Saturday early

Hello Friends,

6 degrees at RealSurf HQ as the sun came over the horizon on Saturday. Wind was a steady 15 kts from the west, which means a wind chill of close to zero. So impressive that there were more than a dozen folks in the water at Dee Why point as of 0700. Sets are into the overhead range along the beach but closer to chest to head and a bit at the point. Tide was still on the drop to the low at 0815. High tide’s at 1445. It’s a 1.45m, so not the “big” tide of the day (which is after midnight).
Outlook is for the swell to gradually fade across the next 48 hours, so getting in when the temp gets to your personal tolerance number today is definitely the plan.
Have a great Saturday everyone!

No takers at Whiterock as of 0700
Tow in possibilities at Longy Bombies
Well populated at the point by first light

Empty at No Mans
Not really working along the Narra stretch

Weather Situation
A high pressure system is centred over southeast Australia, while a low pressure system lies over the southern Tasman Sea. The combination of these two systems is generating fresh to strong south to southwesterly winds along coastal waters. As the low moves further away to the east over the weekend, the high will become the dominant weather pattern for New South Wales, leading to an easing trend in the winds. Winds will tend northerly later on Sunday and on Monday ahead of the next cold front which expected to cross the state on Monday and Tuesday.
