Sideshore and tiny this morning
Hello Friends,
Only a few stalwarts in the water this morning at Dee Why when I checked for the first time around 0800. Wind was coming out of the north at 7-11 kts, having been NNE since midnight and the MHL buoy was seeing 1.4 metres at 8 second wind swell from the east. Waves looked to be mostly in the knee high range and the fullness of the 1.77 m high tide at 1025 was obvious. More favourable exposures should be a little bit bigger, but I’d guess anything above waist high will be rare.
The Goat’s weighed in on our prospects for the weekend and beyond, so if you haven’t already, I’d check his words of wisdom here.
Have a top old Friday everyone!
