0710: fresh new pulse starts to fill in to the point at Dee Why.

Huey’s limbering up over there in the green room and it looks like he means business. Yesterday at this time the average size of our south swell was around a metre. It was dribbling along at about 7 seconds apart and if your beach wasn’t facing south, you had no hope. But, at around lunchtime it jumped up to 2metres at 9 seconds. While Sydney was sleeping, the size remained unchanged, but the average power setting has ratcheted up to 10 seconds, and there are now some 12 sec period sets in the mix as well.

You could’ve launched paper boats of the point yesterday morning, but today I watched some lucky pup take off on something fun looking that was into the chest high range. Sets along the beach are bigger, but the shutdown to makeable ratio is 99:1.

As the swell arrives, the wind will be pushing up as well. By this afternoon it’s set to be in the 20-30 kt range offshore. And the Bureau expects it to stay that way right through the weekend.

I’ll be out and about with my cameras at some point today, so expect a few more pictures from me.

Go well with your day!
