Hello Friends,
We have ourselves another morning with good surf at Sydney’s south swell spots. Wind was WSW at around 15-20 kts and the tide was coming off an early high. Swell was about two metres coming from the south with a power setting of about 9 seconds. Plenty of folk on the point at Dee Why, and though I didn’t get a good look, seemed to be a fair old crew at Northy as well.
Outlook is for the wind to push along pretty strongly from the S-SW through the day. The Bureau is calling for the swell to be SE around the 3 metre mark, but I can’t really see much evidence on the latest MHL data. The models are showing the same thing, so maybe it’s just lurking out there, waiting to come ashore later…
Said models are still predicting around 3 metres through Friday night, but then pushing up by another 1-2 metres briefly (ie peaking at 4-5 metres), before dropping back steadily into the news week.
Saturday certainly looks interesting because the wind is set to drop back as the day goes along.
I’m hoping to be out and about with a camera over the next few days of course. Speaking of which, I got a few shots at Dee Why point late yesterday morning. You’ll find the story in our centre column news section as usual.
Go well!
