Micro morning
Hello Friends,
Lazy start for yours truly. But then again, I knew it’d be tiny and said so yesterday, so I plead that in mitigation of slackness.
To put some numbers on the situation this morning, the wind was 7-10 kts from the west as of 0930 and swell at sea was a metre at 9 seconds from the SE. That was translating into near flat conditions at Dee Why where at 0930 I could see only one hopeful in the water chasing knee-high bombs up the beach from the surf club.
We should have the latest take from the Goat later today, so I’ll just say at this point it doesn’t look to me as though we’ll have mal-only conditions for a while yet.
Also, for those of you checking in to see if I’ve posted the pictures I took of you a week ago at Dee Why beach and the point around midday. After a fair amount of engineering work to make the 1200 shots navigable, the pics should be up later today. I’ll post a link when they’re ready.
For your calendar!

Weather Situation
Generally light southeast to southwesterly winds will dominate along the New South Wales coast for the remainder of the week, as a strong high pressure system gradually drifts across the state. Winds will strengthen and tend northerly over the weekend as the high reaches the Tasman Sea, increasing further early next week as a strong cold front approaches from the west.
