Hello Friends,
I think we could be looking at peak day for this particular run of swell in Sydney. Overnight the average size has bumped up a touch, but more importantly the average power level has gone up from 10 sec yesterday to an average of 11 sec. Swell is looking pretty mature to me. Nice long lines giving that palpitation-inducing corduroy look to the ocean.
Outlook is for the swell to stick around all day and for the wind to remain light and offshore with fine and sunny conditions all day. High tide’s just before 1100.
From the models’ prognostications, it appears that tomorrow will be pretty fun in the morning but getting breezy in the afternoon. Then it seems we’ll get small to flat across Friday into Saturday, before a fresh serving of south swell arrives for us on Sunday.
Here’s the Bureau’s call
