Hello Friends,
Lovely morning with bright blue skies and light winds at 0800. Tide was low at 0645 and will be back to a moderate 1.5 m high at 1245. Swell’s out of the SSE at around a metre and 10-seconds. Set wave faces at Dee Why looked to be in the knee to waist range at the point and maybe a touch bigger along the beach north from there.
The Bureau says the little swell we have will fade across the day but according to the models, it won’t go flat on us. With luck we should have soft but more or less rideable little bumps – particularly in the mornings right through the week ahead.
Get out there if you can and keep on smilin’!
