Messy and minor
Hello Friends,
Another miss-able morning for surfers at Dee Why. The wind’s been southerly for days now and as the picture shows the ocean looks like it did yesterday and the day before that. Swell energy has cogged down again and as of 0600 it was 1.7 metres at 5 seconds from the SE. So what we have is gutless waist high high tide fattened dribble.
So how long will this last? Well, I’m hoping the Goat will drop a fresh forecast soon, so my quick take is that we’re pretty much facing a wait until into next week before we see any noticeable improvement.
Have a top old day and remember, we’re another day closer to the next great session!
