Grey skies but little waves
Posted by: Don on December 5th, 2009
Hello Friends,
Cool and grey along the beaches this morning, but there are some little ESE windwaves to be had. As the pictures show, it’s not very big, but there are waist to chest high sets for the reasonably large number of keen punters up for the early at Dee Why.
With luck the winds should stay light through the morning before gradually swinging around to a junk-inducing ESE. Tide is high mid-morning, so unfortunately it will be getting fatter until about the time the wind junk takes over – and the windswell fades a bit.
Oh well, guess you better go quick.
Outlook for tomorrow is for it to be pretty marginal, but with luck not quite flat. Swell should stay basically out of the same ESE direction through the weekend.
Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Saturday until midnight: Wind: Variable 5/10 knots at first, becoming E/SE 15/20 knots in the afternoon. Sea: less than 1 metre, rising to 1 to 2 metres in the afternoon. Swell: SE 1 to 2 metres.
Sunday: Wind: N/NE 10/20 knots, freshening to 15/25 knots. Sea: 1 to 2 metres, rising to 1.5 to 2.5 metres.Swell: SE 1 to 1.5 metres.
Monday: Wind: NE 10/20 knots, increasing to 15/25 knots.


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...
