1400: little bit more showing at Dee Why...

Hello Friends,

Your fevered correspondent dragged his sorry carcass up into the crow’s nest for a look at the surf situation and can report that, as expected, things have picked up a bit. Not hugely mind you, but definitely into the surfable range at spots such as Dee Why. The Sydney MHL buoy shows that the average period has bumped up from around 7 to near 9 seconds and that the average size is getting toward the 2 metre mark at sea.

Should mean a few more options this arvo compared to this morning.

Groan…  back to the sick bed…

Tiny, but perfectly formed at Dee Why.

Ocean looks pretty tiny this morning. A good day to be doing other stuff if you want my opinion. Mind you this comes from someone who is currently beset by a plague of flu devils, so you may want to take that into account.

The numbers are not quite as woeful as yesterday, so it could be that at south exposed spots you might be able to pick up something. Average height at sea of the swell off Sydney is around 1.5 metres from the SSE. Average period is about 8 seconds (marginal) but there is some 10 sec component showing in the peak data. And, I see there’s been a little uptick in size down the coast from us, so it could be that the energy levels will increase a little during the day. Certainly a couple of the forecast models are showing that it’ll pick up a couple of feet today. But then it’s set to drop right back to flatness right through the weekend.

Go well!
