Hello Friends,
Fun size this morning at Dee Why thanks to a 1.67 m 9-second SE swell. The more easterly direction has made up for the drop in size of the swell. Wind was 7-10 kts from the NW as of 0730. Although the weather call is for an 80% chance of showers, the day kicked off with mainly blue skies. There were only a few people in the water at 0800 to enjoy the shoulder plus sets at both the point and along the beach.
And the good news is that it looks as though we’ll have surfable energy for at least a couple more days…
Go well folks!
