ello Friends,
Smooth and beautiful conditions at Dee Why. Sets are knee to waist at both point and along the beach. Quite a wait though. Looks to be pretty similar up the beach at Longy.
Light westerly as the day kicked off under partly cloudy skies. Swell has gone a touch more south and dropped a tiny bit more. But the period seems to be holding. So, as of 0500, the MHL buoy was recording 0.96 m of 14-sec S-SSE (166°) swell. Tide was a deep 1.7 m at 0500 and is currently racing down to a lowish 0.4 m at 1130. Weather should be mostly sunny with a high of 23C. Water quality is fine everywhere and the temp is still 21C.
I keep hoping the swell models will have something of interest for us, but this morning’s offerings are not encouraging. If they’re right, it could be really small to flat through to the end of the month.
Oh well, the waves always come back, so we just wait…
Have a top old Wednesday.
