Hello Friends,
At first light there were heaps of folks prowling about looking for any sign of Ului swell. Here in Sydney they weren’t really finding much, but at least it wasn’t totally flat. As long as a beach has some reasonable exposure to the east (and which ones don’t?), you’re in with a chance of the odd waist to chest high plus set. Some patience will be required however as the sets are only turning up every 5-10 minutes or so.
Swell is mainly out of the east at about a metre at an average of 9 seconds apart. Tide’s high at midday.
Outlook is for the wind to go briefly to the SE before quartering around to the NE for this afternoon.
It looks as though the waves will be best early but with luck they’ll stick around (but gradually decline in average size) over the weekend.
Have yourself a good one!
TIDE: H @noon, L @1745
