Late arvo wrap

Hello Friends,

It looks as though a little 10sec period pulse started filling in during the last few hours of the day. I went out for a squiz with board in tow. Ended up not getting in, but came close because there were definitely some waist to chest high plus sets on the bigger ones.

The swell’s pretty straight south, so the spots with best exposure to that direction were doing the most. Plus the tide was kinda high, so fatness was something of an issue. That said, I saw a number of waves that would’ve been worth the wait.

Looking at the buoy data from down south, it seems that the 10 sec component might only last until around midnight. If that happens we could be back to near flat tomorrow morning. My hope is that the power levels will hang in there and that early risers will get something at south swell spots in Sydney. It’ll be high tide at daybreak, dropping to low at 1144.

Here’s the Bureau’s call:

There were peaks of one description or another from the bombies to south of the pole at Dee Why. Around at Curly it was people from one end to the other, but it looked most interesting at the south end when I was there. Anyway, here’s a couple minute vid broadcast I made while I was checking it out…
