Sunny and small but not flat
Hello Friends,
Friday kicked off with mostly clear skies, 8-10 kts of W-WNW wind and a 1.4 metre, 12-second south swell showing at the offshore buoys. As the pictures indicate, this was producing waves in the knee to waist-plus range at Dee Why. As usual, the sets were smaller and the waves less frequent at the point, and a touch bigger and more consistent along the beach. It was a mellow looking morning, suitable for all surfing skill levels. Water’s clean and 20 – which also happens to be the forecast high for today.
It’ll be interesting to see what the Goat thinks when he rolls out his latest surf forecast, but my quick glance at the charts makes me think we’ve got several more days of the current surf conditions – at least.
Go well and stay happy!
Weather Situation
