Hello Friends,
Hmmm. Thought it would be bigger this morning. But it isn’t. You’re going to have to hunt around this morning. The Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch has two or three very small and inconsistent (but at 0700, glassy) peaks. Size is struggling to get to chest high on the takeoff before rapidly slumping to sup waist high as you go along. An incoming tide (high at 0915) is not going to do it any favours.
Situation along the Dee Why to Longy stretch was pretty much the same. Great long stretches of smooth, still waters separating the little episodic peaks. Nothing happening at the point and nothing doing at the bombies. But it was glassy and the sunny. Nice day for a walk along the sand up the north end away from the rotting cunji and seaweed down toward kiddies.
Here’s the latest call from the Bureau:
Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Saturday until midnight: Wind: variable to 10 knots, tending N/NE 10/15 knots in the afternoon and freshening to 15/20 knots later, chiefly offshore. Sea: less than 1 metre rising to 1 to 1.5 metres later. Swell: E/SE about 1 metre.
Sunday: Wind: N/NW 10/15 knots. Sea: about 1 metre.Swell: E about 1 metre.
Monday: Wind: SE/NE 10/15 knots.
At this stage, I don’t see any reason to hope for a major divergence from the Goat’s forecast. But I do like the look of some of the swell forecast interpretations for late in the coming week. We aren’t talking huge or anything, but there is at least a prospect of shoulder to head high plus E to ENE swell with light SE wind from around Thursday into the weekend.
Hope those super computers are right!
(Speaking of forecasts, it looks as though Tuesday and Thursday could be pretty interesting down at Bells.)
Go well!
