Hello Friends,

Did you get waves there yesterday? I’d go have another look at it today then. It’s dropped overnight, but if Dee Why’s any guide, you should still be able to extract a bit of juice from the longer period sets. Average size at sea is around the 1.5 metre mark. Sadly, the average period has dropped to 8 seconds (from about 10 yesterday). Some of the 10 sec component is still showing in the MHL data, so I expect that accounts for the chest high sets I saw at Dee Why when I grabbed this morning’s snaps.

Tide was low enough to get the peaks working, but it’s been headed toward the 1130 high since 0533. As it fills in, I’d expect conditions to go ordinary most places.

Here’s the Bureau’s call:

Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Thursday until midnight: Wind: S/SW 10/15 knots increasing to 15/20 knots during the morning. Sea: around 1 metre, rising to 1.5 to 2.5 metres. Swell: SE 1 to 1.5 metres.
Friday: Wind: S 15/20 knots, increasing to 20/30 knots in the morning. Sea: rising to 2 to 3 metres. Swell: S/SE 1 to 2 metres.
Saturday: Wind: S 20/30 knots.

Chilly morning didn't deter the early morning shift from grabbing a few sets like this.
