Hello Friends,
In big rush this morning, so here are some pictures of the offshore and tiny conditions at Dee Why-Longy. Basically it’s knee high on the sets at the north end and ankle to knee at Dee Why. We’re in for a windy day and gradually increasing energy from the south. But I reckon waves won’t be much until maybe late. Tomorrow should be interesting though…
Have a great Friday!
