Not quite flat… but pretty close
Posted by: Don on December 10th, 2009
Hello Friends,
Grey skies to start – again. Surf conditions are distinctly marginal. In fact, we’re getting closer to flatness. The MHL data is showing 1.5 metres of 8 sec period east windswell, so there could be the odd waist high set at the exposed locations.
Wind is supposed to swing around to the NE this afternoon and to kick up to 20-25 kts. That could possibly improve the chances of getting something a bit bigger. Of course, being windswell, it’ll be biggest where it’s most onshore and smallest where it’s most protected.
Not spectacularly exciting, but tomorrow is currently looking as though it will be even smaller.
Have yourself a top old day and keep on smilin’

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...
