Hello Friends,
I was just about to hit the keyboard this morning, when the phone rang. It was RealSurf’s man in Coffs, Brian. “What’d you do to the swell??”, he asked. “Arrawarra’s flat as a tack. Yesterday it was pumping.” Having just looked at the Dee Why stretch, it was my doleful duty to report that Huey’s snapped the power switch to off overnight for us too.
I grabbed a couple low tide waves late yesterday afternoon at No Man’s that were solidly head high. What’s more, there were much bigger sets arriving regularly. According to the MHL data, the average size was around 1.5 metres, but the average period was close to a power packed 12 seconds from the east.
The moment the sun set, Huey started to wind it all down. The average size is around a metre but the period is now a gutless 7 seconds. Surprised everyone Huey, onya!
So, we have a mild temp, offshore breeze – and just about no waves. I had to wait quite awhile to get a snap from the crows nest of a person wobbling slowly along on a tiny lump at Dee Why. It faded away after a few seconds too.
But despair not, thanks to an intense low now over Tasmania, we could well see a strong south pulse start to fill in from around midday on Monday. It then looks as though it’ll keep pushing along through much of the coming week.
Go well with your day!
