Hello Friends,

Pop! That’s the only way to describe what happened last night. After fading the power settings toward dark, Huey decided to crank them up hard at midnight. It went from around a metre to two metres, but more important, the average period went from 9 seconds to nearly 13 seconds. That is a serious boost in the juice levels and the SE swell is as a consequence lining up rather nicely at Dee Why point. The beachy is shutting down though, so all 30+ folks getting a quick wave in before work, were battling it out off the rocks.

Sets are well into the overhead range. The wind is lightly out of the NW as things get started on the first day of August. However, the Bureau says the wind is going to start accelerating soon and by this afternoon it could be blasting along at 30-40 kts. So, get out now if you can!

I’ll take a look at longer term prospects later today and in the meantime, I’ll try to get out and about with a camera before the wind gets too brutal…

Wow! That's a kick!
