Hello Friends,
Light NW wind at 0900 and chest to shoulder high set waves to go with it at Dee Why beach. As with yesterday, it was fairly shutty-downy and busy, but there were definitely a few makeable ones in the mix for the 20 or so people working the main peak. Over at the point it was a repeat of yesterday as well, with smaller on average waves and much longer waits between sets. Next tide of the day is 1.53m high at 1205. Swell at sea was 1.6m at 10 seconds and coming from the SE.
The Bureau says it’ll be NE around midday.
Here’s hoping for tomorrow morning, when we could have cloudy skies but some residual south swell and reasonable winds for the early. There’s an 80% chance of showers and then it looks as though we’re in for another stretch of La Nina rainy weather for at least a week. Hope it doesn’t make the water woofy again as it’s only just getting reasonable looking again (Beachwatch says most spots are unlikely to be polluted this morning).
Go well and stay safe!
