Afternoon update – it’s faded
Posted by: Don on December 3rd, 2009
Hello Friends,
Well, that was fun. Hope you got in before lunchtime today. As the NE’r came up and the tide dropped, the head high plus sets of this morning disappeared. Very disappointing for those who can only get in the water for the late.
I spent a couple hours in the water at Dee Why point this morning. There were quite a few in the water when I first paddled out, but by the time I came in there were less than 10 bods on it – even though there were still some solid sets. Works out that way sometimes I guess.
My plan is to put up a little gallery of pics later today so that you can get an idea of what it was like.
Outlook for the rest of the day is for the swell to get weaker, but not quite flat (as long as you’re at a spot that likes SE windswell).
Tomorrow is supposed to see NW winds early ahead of a 20-25 kt S-SE change later in the morning. The swell doesn’t look like coming back up to any extent. Indeed, the latest run of the models suggests that we’re in for a week or so of marginal, but not quite flat SE to ESE wind swell conditions.
Have yourself a great Thursday afternoon!


Weekend warriors weren’t put off by the somewhat junky conditions mid-morning at No Mans and Long Reef on Sunday 29 August. Sets were into the shoulder high range and there were...
Saturday morning saw a couple metres of south swell with a period of about 10 seconds lighting up beaches around Sydney. South Narrabeen was looking tasty early with offshore conditions...
What a great weekend! So what if Huey didn’t deliver as expected – the sun shone, the wind blew offshore and there were waves! I burnt a bit of petrol cruising round...
