Sunny morning with little waves on tap
Hello Friends,
There were knee to waist high sets on offer this morning at Dee Why thanks to the 1.2 metre, 11-second straight south swell. Wind was coming lightly from the SW as of 0830, but should drift around to the NE as the morning goes along. Tide was low at 0830 and will be back to a moderate 1.5m high 1510. Weather should be partly cloudy, with the chance of a late shower and a high of 24.
Wondering about the prospects for tomorrow and beyond? Good news; the Mighty Goat has consulted the entrails and dispensed his latest wisdom for your edification…
