Hello Friends,
Ah, Monday morning. Have a good weekend? If you got in yesterday, you’ve done well; if you put it off until this morning (like I did) – not so good. Wind is out of the south to SW at 8-12 kts or thereabouts as the day gets started.
Yesterday’s waist to chest high plus windswell has been replaced with knee to waist high south windswell dribble. As my picture shows, it’s not too inspiring at Dee Why. At those places with better exposure to the swell direction, the wind will be even more of a factor.
Outlook for the next couple days is not exceptionally hopeful, but I’m liking the look of the indicators for Thr-Fri. Right now the models are showing a 2 metre SSE pulse with a power setting in the 10-12 second range – and we’re supposed to have offshores and sunny skies with it. If I had to put in for an RDO today, I’d choose Thursday! (Huey of course will have the last word)
Apropos nothing in particular, heard a good news story this morning on the radio about Swiss researchers managing to get severed spinal cords in rats to grow again. They’re publishing their results in Nature, so it sounds pretty legit.
Go well with your day one and all.
Tides: H@0942, L@1600
