Long waits for sets like this one at 0730.

Hello Friends,

The ocean is looking rather quiet this morning at Dee Why. Even so, there are a few bods having a go at a little peak up the beach from the SLSC. As with yesterday the waits are long and the sets are just barely into the catchable range.

Swell is out of the SE at 8sec and maybe 0.5 of a metre. There is some 12 second stuff in the mix though, and that no doubt accounts for the rideable sets.

For the last few days the models have been showing a little uptick within the next 24 hours. The Bureau’s calling for a couple metres with stiff NW winds for Wednesday and the models are punting on a 10-11 sec period setting. It’s set to be a fine and warm (for winter) day today and again tomorrow.

The models have been showing the possibility of another, more solid pulse late on the weekend and lasting into Monday. Current reckoning is that by Sunday morning we could be looking at SSE swell in the double overhead range on the biggest ones along with stiffish SW winds. This is call is out at the edge of the models’ forecast range, so take it under advisement for now I’d say.

Have yourself a top old day!

Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
