Clean and tiny on a sunny Wednesday morning at Dee Why

Hello Friends, A cool NNW breeze was ruffling the surface at Dee Why as tiny lines courtesy of a 1.6 m, 8-second SSE wind swell showed at the point and Kiddies. It looked to be in the knee to maybe waist high range, but there were only a tiny number of hopefuls in the water, […]

Looking very small on a beautiful breezy and sunny morning

Hello Friends, Another gorgeous morning along the beaches, but there’s no swell to speak of at Dee Why and 10-20 kts of SSW wind is keeping things cool. Out at sea there was a 4-5 sec period 1.5 metre SE wind chop. Looking at the ECM and Wavewatch models for this morning, it appears we’re […]
