Undistinguished and grey
Hello Friends,
A long wait for the misty rain to back off before I could grab a snap this morning. Turns out the optimistic predictions yesterday didn’t quite eventuate. Yes, there are some sloppy lumpy bumps around this morning for the desperately keen, but it was looking flabby and gutless at Dee Why. The breeze was coming faintly from the WSW at 0900 while out at sea the wavrider buoy down south was detecting 1.7 m of 9-10 sec easterly swell. Tide was high at just before 0800, so that probably wasn’t helping much either.
We’re looking at another week of showery weather according to the Bureau’s latest forecast and the swell models tell us that surf intensity should be around the current levels tomorrow before weakening a little into mid-week.
Nothing exciting, but at least it’s not flat. Dee Why may be so-so, but more optimally aligned stretches should be fun.
Go well!
