Sunny and waves
Hello Friends,
Well, we’ve been hoping Wednesday would turn out well. Conditions looked clean and thanks to a 1.3 m, mainly east 9-second swell there were chest to maybe shoulder high sets showing up at the point and along the beach this morning at Dee Why. Given the circumstances, it was surprising to see only a comparatively modest number of surfers in the water as of 0830. It is school holidays after all.
Wind was coming lightly from the NW and the Bureau tells us it’ll stay that way all day. Plus, the swell should hold at about the current intensity too. Outlook for tomorrow is more sunny skies and small fun surf suitable for all skill levels. The next 7 days are shaping to be good, to very good. That figures. Your correspondent will be away from Sydney. Typical!
Get out there if you can and enjoy!
