Hello Friends,
Glassy and very small this morning at Dee Why beach. We have around a metre or so of 8 sec period south windswell rolling slowly in and while it is struggling to get into the waist high range on sets, at least you can occasionally catch one.
From the look of the data coming out of the Batemans Bay and Eden buoys, there doesn’t seem to be anything particularly hopeful where we’re concerned. If anything, it’s looking consistent with the model forecasts for a gradual decline across the day.
However whilst tomorrow seems likely to be pretty similar, there is a possibility that we might see some forerunners of the expected south pulse by late in the day.
Come Monday morning though, we should be seeing fun size south swell (shoulder to head high plus is my modest hope). The wind is set to go southerly in the afternoon on Monday, but if the forecast 14-16 sec periods eventuate, I reckon it won’t be putting people off too terribly much.
With luck, the swell should keep going for at least another 72 hours. Woohoo!
Have yourself a top old Saturday one and all.
