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

Another micro day

Hello Friends,

Only a faint zephyr stirring the ocean surface at Dee Why as the sun came over the horizon this morning. Skies are clear and the air temp was comparatively mild. But, as the pictures show, there is no swell. The MHL Sydney buoy hasn’t checked in since yesterday evening, but looking at the data from other stations, I’d guess there’s maybe half a metre from the S-SSE at 13-14 seconds.

If you’re interested, Tide was low at 05:55 and will be back to a 1.53 m high at 1215.

Weather should be sunny all day and the wind will be from the SW. Water is about 16°C.

The Goat will be along later with his week-ahead outlook, so I’ll be keen to see his take on our prospects for a memorable Monday….

Have a top Thursday!

Nice morning for a paddle on the SUP
