Hello Friends,
Another beautiful wave-filled morning in Sydney. How good is this time of year? Swell has faded a bit overnight, but it’s nothing like flat. Wave faces at Dee Why beach (where 30 or so were on it) looked to be in the 2 metre range (what I’d call shoulder to head high plus). The point was a touch smaller and less consistent, but definitely rideable.
Swell is out of the SE at an average of 1.5m with the power setting on 10 seconds.
Wind is out of the NW and not too strong. Next tide is a high at 1143.
Outlook is for a gradual decline through the day as we head toward a small Friday-Saturday. The models are still showing a fresh batch of solid south swell arriving around Sunday morning. Looks like we’ll have pretty good conditions at south facing spots from Sunday midday to dusk, but from Monday the models are calling for the dominant wind direction to be out of the s to ese (blergh).
Here’s the Bureau’s call for the next few days:
