Some signs of south swell at Long Reef around 530pm…
scroll down for earlier today….
Hello Friends,
There seem to be a few little ones about this morning. Bit of a wait for the sets, but I did see at least one into the chest high range up the beach from DYSLSC. And, as the picture shows, there were a few folks winkling a few out from around the rocks at the point.
Yesterday the swell started out at around 2 metres and 9 seconds from the south. It dipped back during the early evening hours to around 7 sec, but this morning it’s back above the 8 sec mark and seems to be going up still. Peak periods are into the 10 sec range (about where they were at the peak yesterday). Average size of the swell at sea is just under 2 metres but there are some 4m peaks of swell plus sea.
What’s it all mean?
Well, with luck we should see a few little waves around at the south swell spots this morning. If the forecast models are true, then the power levels should inch up a bit more during the day and tomorrow morning there could be some 2-3 metre south swell into the 13 sec plus range.
The Bureau says we can expect this morning’s SW wind to move around more to the south and as it does, to get into the 15-20 kt range, before dropping back a touch to 10-15 kts toward dusk. Tomorrow’s wind outlook is for light and variable winds of 5-10 kts in the morning and NE of 15-20 kts. About the only minor quibble one could have with Thursday’s settings is that we could have a shower or two.
Get out there and jag a few if you can!
