Should be more like this around the place this morning.

Hello Friends,

Looks like a fine and warm late spring day coming up for us. But better than that by far is the news that we have some swell. As I’d been cautiously hoping, Huey’s dialled up the power to 12 seconds and added another metre to the average height. Now we’re sitting on a couple metres of SSE swell in Sydney at a reasonable interval so that should mean a fair few wave options about the place.

Dee Why point looked to be producing waist to chest high on sets, with the odd bomb slipping into the mix. The beach seemed sparsely attended when I checked a little after 0800, but given the swell direction, I reckon there’d have to be the odd opportunity between Dee Why and Longy.

Outlook is for a decline in swell over the next 24 hours. With luck though, it should hold into the surfable range through lunchtime at the very least. The average period is expected to get shorter overnight and to weaken during the day on Saturday.

Have yourself a good one!
