update: here are the first pics for the day…

As the rising sun's first rays pink the spray, one comes through the point.

Hello Friends,

Swell continues on a slow decline, but it shouldn’t be flat. It’s still dark out as I start writing this, so I’m having to rely on the MHL data for the moment. It’s showing the swell still coming from the east and just a touch under 2 metres at about 9 seconds apart. Yesterday was only a touch bigger, so as long as you can find a place out of the expected south change, there should be waves.

While we’re waiting for some light, here’s the latest marine forecast:

Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Strong Wind Warning.
Saturday until midnight: Wind: N/NW 10/15 knots ahead of an early morning S/SE change 20/30 knots, easing to 15/20 knots late in the day and evening.Sea: 1 to 1.5 metres early, rising to 2 to 3 metres in the morning, then abating to 1.5 to 2 metres in the evening. Swell: E/NE 2 to 2.5 metres.
Sunday: Wind: SW/SE 5/15 knots, tending E/NE in the afternoon. Sea: about 1 metre. Swell: E/SE 2 to 2.5 metres.
Monday: Wind: NW/SW 5/15 knots before a S’ly change 20/30 knots.

Back soon when I have a picture or two…
