Hello Friends
As foretold by the WAMs, we have a bit of swell this morning in Sydney. The raw numbers are currently showing as 1-1.5 metres at 9 to 11 seconds. What this means at Dee Why (and many other spots that like SE swell) is somewhat setty waist to chest high plus conditions. Surface conditions were clean for the early riser crew but as the day goes along the NE’r will build up and that of course means that surf options will contract mainly to the protected north corners.
From the look of the latest data from the MHL buoys, the swell period has peaked and is on a downward trend in the Sydney region. I’d say get in while the getting’s good because it doesn’t look as though things will improve.
Outlook for tomorrow is for there to be a little something through to about lunchtime, but on current reckoning, it’s going to be pretty small. Beyond that it seems that we’re in for marginal but not quite flat conditions.
Have yourself a great day!
