Hello Friends,
Another beautiful morning along the beaches but the wave energy is barely there. At 0600 the MHL buoy was showing 1.2 metres at 8 seconds from the SSE as well as some component from the east. That’s down from yesterday, so your surf options are going to be somewhere in the zone between flat and barely there. You can cross Dee Why off the list for anything more ambitious than a low key bodywhomp session. There might be the odd catchable waist-ish thing around at Curly and other similarly aligned beaches.
Wondering about the surf prospects for the weekend and beyond? The Goat’s gotcha covered. Check out his words of surf wisdom here!
Go well with your Friday everyone!
