Hello Friends,
One of those mornings when I don’t mind the prospect of a coffee and desk work so much. 20-30 kts of SSE wind, lowering grey skies and a 2 metre SE swell with a power setting of only 6 seconds. As this morning’s picture shows, it was not an attractive scene where Dee Why was concerned. Given the look of the sea, I’d be very surprised if there was anywhere with much of a wave this morning. Despite all the wind, there’s just not much energy in the ocean.
From the shape of the forecast data, it would seem that we’re in for another week of mainly southerly conditions. The swell should push up a bit but on current reckoning, it won’t be a dramatic boost above the present conditions – at least not for the next few days. Some interpretations of the WAM data are still showing a biggish pulse about Monday. They were projecting it yesterday as well, so maybe we’ll get lucky.
Meanwhile, down at Bells, the forecast is not looking too flash for waves across the period of the contest. I reckon they might want to move it to Johanna…
Go well with your day, wherever you may be!
