Hello Friends,
Swell went east around lunchtime yesterday and it’s still coming from that direction. Indeed, the latest MHL data for Sydney says it’s moved a touch closer to e by ene. Swell is around the 1-1.5 metre mark with an average period of 9 seconds. However, there is some 11 second stuff in there as well and it may be that component which accounts for the occasional crunchy looking set along the beach at Dee Why.
Wind is out of the NW as we got started today. It’s set to stay that way but pickup and then swing SW as a strong change pushes through.
The latest run of the models suggest that it won’t go as stupid big as calculated a day or so ago. Current reckoning is that we’ll get a short south pulse tomorrow, followed by a brief lull and then a sustained run of solid (3m+ 9-10s) south to SSE swell from Thursday on through the weekend. Wind is forecast to generally be out of the SW’ly quarter. Thr-Fri looks the goods for south swell spots at the mo’.
A proper winter looking set of numbers – except for that freakishly warm water temp.
Go well one and all!
