0730: SUP rider glides into a smooth little one in the corner.

Hello Friends,

Yesterday at this time the swell was averaging about two metres from the south and the period was around the 9 second mark. Last night the primary swell direction moved to the SE and, while it dropped to about a metre on average, the power setting has nudged back up to 10 seconds. Where Dee Why’s concerned, this means knee to waist high little lines with enough on them to let you pick ‘em up with a shortboard.

The next couple days look like offering not much to Sydney surfers. With luck it won’t go absolutely flat and happily, the models continue to show hopeful signs for the weekend. Here’s what the Bureau is advising this morning:

A cold front will reach the south coast late tomorrow then a low should form off central parts of the coast Friday with strong to gale force southwest to southerly winds developing over most coastal waters.

This should mean that by late Saturday morning we should be seeing good size swell lighting up south spots. Right now I’d guess faces in the head high to 1.5x overhead range. The weather will be pretty ordinary – cold and showery from the look of the forecasts right now…

Have yourself a great day and go well with your plans!
