Hello Friends,
Tuesday starts out with about 1.5 metres of SE swell. Huey’s put the power setting at around 9 seconds, so that means exposed spots are picking up the odd chest to shoulder high set. Weirdly, despite the school hols, the surfer count at Dee Why for the early was not too high. Wind is light and offshore to begin, but the Bureau says we can expect it to swing northwest and pick up as the day goes along.
From the shape of the forecast, we should be able to count on something in the way of swell all day. It’ll range from flat at the protected zones to maybe head high on bombs at the SE spots. There’s even the prospect of a slight improvement to size because average periods off to the south of Sydney are closer to the 10 second mark at the moment.
Latest run of the models suggest that our region will continue to get waves into the surfrable range for much of the coming week. There might possibly be some east swell up north in a few days, but it looks unlikely to get down as far as Sydney. A low may form above NZ next week, so we’ll be keeping an eye on those models to see if it will arc back into the upper Tasman to sling some juice in our direction in 10-12 day’s time…
Have yourself a top old Tuesday!
