Grey skies and clean lines
Hello Friends,
Minor technical unpleasantness meant the site was offline overnight. Not hacked, so all good. Grabbed the snaps around 1120 and the SW wind was still light but the lines were long for the hearty crew on it at Dee Why. The 1.6 m 13-sec SSE swell was mostly missing the point and shutting down along the beach where it was in the shoulder high range on sets with the odd shoulder-plus in the mix. The long period meant a bit of waiting around for the 30 or os on the mostly left breaking makeable ones up the beach.
Should be smaller tomorrow but right now, it’s looking (just) surfable into the weekend…
Go well and stay safe!
