Hello Friends,
Dropped my mate off at the airport this morning, so running a little behind the usual schedule. The good thing is that it meant I could stop by Curly to see what was happening before checking Dee Why. As of 0830 what was happening was occasional chest plus lines with not too many corners. You did a lot of waiting for the opportunity to get caught behind after your first turn. It was the same around at Dee Why, only a touch smaller. Tide is now coming in to a 1.4 m high at 1445. Will be interesting to see if the swell perks because tomorrow should be quite a bit bigger (see Bureau forecast below).
Have a great day everyone!

A strong high pressure system over the Bight is maintaining a ridge to the east, while a series of cold fronts skim past the southeast corner of New South Wales. Little change to this pattern is expected during the coming days, with the high moving over southeast Australia at the end of the week.
