Hello Friends,
As expected, this morning kicked off with lowering skies and drizzle as we head into at least a week of the wet stuff. Wind was out of the ESE at 8-14 kts as of 0700, while swell at sea was 2.3 metres at 9 seconds from the S-SSE. First tide of the day was the 0.5m low at 0805. Yesterday’s rain has triggered ‘pollution possible’ warnings from Beachwatch for the lagoon entrances.
Surfwise it was pretty ordinary. There were some soft knee high bumps at Manly, but around at Curly it was choppy and too tiny to have attracted any takers. Dee Why was picking up the energy and seeing the odd chest high plus, but quality, as the pics show was sub-par.
Have a great Thursday and take the N95 for inside spaces.
