Gloomy start to Thursday but little waves

Hello Friends,

Swell has dropped overnight and this morning at first light Dee Why was seeing very occasional sets into the chest range, but mostly it was smaller than that. The MHL data from 0500 showed 1.5 metres of 11-12 sec energy from the SSE (155°), but looking at it, I reckon it’s probably a bit smaller now. Tide will reach a 1.35 m high at 0820 and will be back to a 0.6 m low at 1355. Wind was light from the WNW at report time.
As always, I’m looking forward to seeing the Goat’s forecast later today. From what I’m seeing, there’s not much of interest on the charts over the near term. It’s academic where I’m personally concerned because from Sunday I’m into postcard mode again for the month of July. I’ll try to bob up with the odd over-the-horizon thoughts as wi-fi and schedule permit. And of course there’ll be pictures of this and that too. Needless to say, The Goat will be posting his predictions and possibly a few other morsels along the way.
Have a great Thursday!
