Hello Friends,

Did the Collaroy Plateau ridge run for a quick survey of the swell status. There seems to be some NE left in the tank, but it’s mainly showing at the really exposed stretches. For instance, there are waves up at Northy, but they’re smaller and less consistent looking compared to the chest high sets getting into Gardens.

Around at the Longy to Dee Why stretch, the same phenomenon is visible, but it’s a bit smaller. There is a small south line showing at Butterbox and weakly at Longy, but it’s too marginal to have attracted any punters. The bulk of people in the water this morning were down the south end of the beach, picking over the odds and sods popping up in the general vicinity of the SLSC. A couple of folks on longer equipment were poking around at the point for something catchable.

Wind was not a factor for the early and the tide was benign as well.

Have posted all yesterday’s watershots from Dee Why point on my site.

Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Friday until midnight: Wind: W/NW 10/15 knots, tending N/NW.Sea: to 1 metre.Swell: E/NE 1 to 1.5 metres.
Saturday: Wind: W/NW 5/15 knots, turning S/SW 10/20 knots. Sea: to 1 metre. Swell: E/NE to 1 metre.
Sunday: Wind: S/SW 15/25 knots.

Basically the only option along the stretch.

...but they sure look good doing it.

Fair number of folk hanging around for sets like this.

Haven't run a shot from Longy for awhile... here's why.

Looks better for wetting a line at Butterbox.
