Hello Friends,
Had breakfast at Dee Why this morning and grabbed a couple of snaps afterwards. As you can see, it was gloomy, grey, windblown and very small. Happily the rain is tumbling down at the moment. No real swell to speak of. It’s a little over a metre out at sea, but only 7 seconds apart and pretty much SSE, so no prospect of an immediate improvement.
