Really tiny Thursday morning
Hello Friends,
Busy morning, hence the late call. Another beautiful day out there, but waves are struggling to get into the surfable range at Dee Why. Swell is a metre at 9 seconds from the east, so Dee Why was seeing knee high with the very occasional waist high. Better exposures might see a touch more energy, but don’t expect to see too many shoulder high ones today.
Being a Thursday, we can look forward to the Goat’s weekend and week-ahead surf forecast later today. I’m hoping he sees an improvement to size at some point in the coming 7 days (how ’bout mid next week Goat?)
Stay safe, stay well and have a great Thursday!
