Hello Friends,
Had a lazy start to the day and as it turns out, I wasn’t missing much at Dee Why surfwise. Sets looked to be around the waist high mark – infrequently. Swell at sea has dialed back to being just on a metre at 8-9 sec from the ESE (117°). Tide is coming in fast to the 1.7 m high at 1245 and as of 0930 the wind was 6-9 kts from the NNE at North Head. Water’s clean and sitting on 23, while the day’s high is expected to hit 31.
We’ll see what the Mighty Goat has to say later, but my quick take is that we’re probably in for a summery dribble spell of some duration.
Go well everyone!
