It may be 35 in at Richmond, but out on the coast we’re closer to 28 and there’s a steady 15-20 kts of NE sea breeze to make it feel just about right on the water’s edge. Curly was pretty busy and while parking spaces are definitely at a premium, it’s not completely nuts in that regard as of midday.
Surf quality you ask? Well, as a look at the picture shows, it rates about 1.5 out of 5 in my book. The latest MHL data shows we still have an average height at sea of a metre for the short period (6 sec) NE windswell.
If you get a waist high section, you’re doing quite well. Curly is marginal, but over the hill at Dee Why I’d be calling it just about uncatchable. It’s also much more windblown.
We’re set to ramp up to 34 on the coast tomorrow and a scorching 44 inland. I hope the NEr picks up a little more this afternoon and gives us a little more to play with tomorrow before the late south change rattles through the joint and drops the temps.
Have yourself a top afternoon.
