Afternoon update
Posted by: Don on January 30th, 2009Hello Friends,
Really not much to report in the way of a change from this morning’s conditions. Things seem to be pretty much as they were then – except we have the expected wind. The numbers out of the MHL Sydney buoy are fairly dismal: east windswell of around a metre at between 5 and 6 seconds apart. Bleah.
Latest wind readings are showing the breeze coming from the NNE to NE at 10-20 kts.
Latest call from the Bureau for Sydney region:
Wind: NE 15/20 knots increasing to 20/30 knots during the afternoon. Sea: 1.5 to 2 metres rising to 2 to 3 metres. Swell: NE 1 to 1.5 metres.

Saturday morning dawned sunny and offshore at Dee Why beach. The crew were on it, and before I went for a surf myself, I shot for an hour from about 0840. I would’ve taken even...
