Hello Friends,
Well, it’s awful tiny this morning around the northern beaches. I was up for an early and ended up going for coffee instead. Need a few more waveless days before I’m ready to go out in anything I guess.
First spot on the checkout list was Dee Why at daybreak. Watched it with mate Barry for quite awhile before we decided the sub-waist high dribble just wasn’t going to tempt us. After a restorative coffee, I headed over the hill to see if there was something to surf at Curly.
Again, no dice. There were a couple bods up the north end, but the waits were exceedingly long and when they came, the sets were barely waist high – and then only for a second or two before they subsided into a bit of froth.
Took a flyer and headed north for a squizz at the Gardens-Narra stretch. There were a few folks in at Northy (always are) but as with elsewhere, the waits were very long and the payoffs very ordinary. You know when there are only half a dozen in there that it’s pretty dire. There were a couple similarly flabby, but slightly smaller peaks way down the beach too. If I still had my air mat, I mighta gone one of ’em.
Surf outlook for today is basically more of the same. About the best I think we can hope for is maybe a small uptick for the late at those spots out of the expected NE’ly.
Tomorrow morning is pretty doubtful looking for the early. The current forecast is calling for a south change before lunch and with it an increase in the energy levels as the dominant swell direction swings to the south. With luck Weds will see decreasing S-SE’ly wind and continuing swell. Right now, midday Wednesday at south swell spots appears to be the pick of the week. The models currently project the south energy hanging around through Thursday before we’re back to quite small in Sydney – just in time for the weekend.
Go well with your day!
