Hello Friends,
No eruption of swell for us this morning in Sydney. Huey has decided to disregard what the forecast models have been showing all week. This morning’s early risers at Dee Why found only a small increase in size had occurred overnight. It’s not quite as dire as yesterday evening when your correspondent went for a splash hoping to intercept a few forerunners of the promised long period swell.
There is some activity way down south at the MHL’s Eden waverider buoy. It’s a couple metres with a 12-15 second period, so we’re not without hope of an improvement as the day goes along. But at 0700, there wasn’t much going on. Maybe the odd chest high bomb set if you were lucky – but mostly it’s smaller than that. And consistency is an issue as well.
Fingers crossed… and of course we’ll keep an eye on it through the day.
Go well!
