Hello Friends,

Just checking in to share a couple pics I managed to get during a 5 min. burst of sunshine in the Long Reef-Dee Why area at around 430pm.

As you can see, it looks as though the swell is still around - and those who don’t mind sub-15 degree air and intermittent showers are getting a few clean ones.

We’ve had a couple power outages this arvo, so it’s taking me longer than usual to knock this over!

Not huge, but who'd complain about being in the pocket on this one.

Outlook for tomorrow morning is really pretty similar to what we saw this afternoon, ie 2 metres of SE swell at around the 9-10 sec mark. Over the last couple days, there’s been quite a spread on the MHL buoy between the average and the peak period. It’s still there this evening. Peaks are running close to 13 seconds, so I’m hopeful that, apart from anything else, tomorrow morning will see much the same. The Bureau is currently calling for S-SW winds of 13-18 kts, grading to 18-23 kts out at sea. They reckon the swell will still be SE at 2-2.5 metres. The forecast is says we can expect showers early, but then it should fine up later.

Sounds promising!
