SE’ly morning

Hello Friends,

As PB’s already noted this morning, the SE’ly that blew away the blast furnace heat of yesterday has pushed up a bit of junky but okay size windswell. Dee Why was showing the odd shoulder high set up the beach where the wind was into it. Quite an improvement in size over yesterday, but it will require a certain amount of keeness to get you out there because the quality is pretty underwhelming.

Outlook for the rest of the day is so-so. The SE wind is set to pick up a little this morning and then during the afternoon it should weaken and swing more to the east. Lovely. Meanwhile, as the wind drops, the windswell it’s delivered will also start to fade.

By tomorrow we could be back to smaller conditions as the swell continues to fade overnight from its present 2 metres at 8 seconds, to maybe a metre at 7 seconds. So, Monday may not be flat, but with 10-15kts of ESE wind, I don’t reckon it’ll be particularly appealing.

Outlook for the coming week is generally fairly quiet along the east coast. As we head up to next weekend, SE Qld could start to see some improvement in size (no doubt with increasing wind), but the models don’t show the easterly swell getting very far down into NSW.

Have yourself a top old Sunday!
