Friday fun ones
Hello Friends,
Nice morning for a surf.
Not amazing, but if you were patient there were many spots to choose from this morning. The 1.8 m windswell was coming mainly from the SSE, so that means spots like Dee Why point were seeing only the very occasional catchable ones, while more optimally aligned locations (see above) were seeing the odd chest plus wave face on the take-off. Expect to do a bit of waiting around, but get out now because the SW wind is set to swing south.

Go well one and all!
