Hello Friends,

Tim Winton is out at Ningaloo on the big night. Now that is style. Well done young Tim! Haven’t heard anyone ask him what the waves are like there at the moment, but here in Sydney the settings are on ordinary. Swell is out of the SE at a couple metres from 9 seconds and the wind is currently out of the east to ENE at around 10-15 kts. And, the Bureau says it should ramp up into the 20-25kt range offshore later. Not the best for the south corners, but maybe there’ll be something in the protected north corners – if the wind doesn’t stay as easterly as it is now.

FWIW, I’m still liking the look of early next week. I’m hoping for clean chest to head high and offshore…

Next tide is a low at 1053.

I’m hoping to get out later for a look around at things, so with luck I’ll have another picture or two and a few more words.
