Hello Friends,
Now there’s something I like to see; the latest data from the MHL Sydney buoy showing 2 metres of SE swell with a period of 9 seconds. And the good thing is that it looks like the period tendency is still upward. Throw in light N-NW wind, and you have pretty good prospects for a fun morning I’d say.
I’ll be doing the radio report on 702 ABC shortly, so gotta make this quick. Sets at Dee Why are definitely into the head high range. And given that I only watched for long enough to grab a couple quick snaps, I’d say there’d be a chance of some bigger ones in the mix.
Here’s the official word from the Bureau:
Saturday until midnight: Wind: NW 8/13 knots tending NE and increasing to 15/20 knots in the afternoon, then turning SE at 15/20 knots in the evening.Sea: 1 metre rising to 1 to 2 metres.Swell: SE 1 to 1.5 metres.
Sunday: Wind: SE 10/20 knots.Sea: 1 to 2 metres.Swell: SE 1.5 metres.
So, it sounds to me as though we have a day of waves at most spots in Sydney (’cause almost everywhere along our beaches does something with SE). We have a high tide a little before 1100, so best options most places will be early.
I’d get on it if I could!
Will try to update again later today… Go Well!
