Hello Friends,
Dropping tide, light wind and consistent chest to shoulder-head plusses at the magnets this morning. Swell at sea was 1.8 metres at 9 seconds apart from the ESE (114°). Low tide’s at 1105, by which time the N-NW wind should be starting to make itself felt. Weather should be sunny with a mild 20C high, while water’s clean and still on 18C.
Dee Why was looking rather busy, which isn’t too surprising given the inviting conditions. As the wind comes up, the better quality options will move up the beach toward Longy. Swell should stick around at present intensity though.
Go well with your Friday and stay masked, ’cause even if you’re double vaxxed, you can still be infected and transmit to others. Let’s take care of each other!
