Wind builds, waves come?
Posted by: Don on February 6th, 2009Hello Friends,
Spent a fair amount of time driving around this morning to get a good sense of the conditions. As I’ve already noted below, the conditions are pretty similar to yesterday, but maybe a touch better. There just seem to be a few more waist high sets, and it looks like slightly more of them are standing up on the inside.
The Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch is about where it was yesterday afternoon, ie sort of rideable at Northy and less consistent but not much smaller down the beach where the NE’r is getting into it more.
The call is for the wind to build up to 20-30 kts by the close of play and I reckon that should mean that your fave NE windswell spot should be showing a little more than this morning. Could be a plan…
- Onshore just starting to chew it up at 0930
- Looking a lot like last night actually.
- I reckon you could at least lid this one...

Manly went briefly offshore then dead still at about 745 this morning. It went from really crap to not bad in about 10 minutes and stayed fun o about an hour. Then the NE started to come in again. Brief respite from the crap of the last few weeks!
