Hello Friends,
Nice morning in Sydney. There was a light N-NE breeze as we got underway, but as expected, there’s only the weakest of weak little NE wind swell’s showing along our beaches. It’s around the metre mark at sea, but the average period of about 6 seconds does not promise much power. Sets will be in the knee to waist high range for the most part and you’ll be doing a lot of waiting around for the little buggers too.
From the shape of the latest forecast models, it appears that we’re in for another week of small to not quite flat conditions as a succession of modestly sized, short period ENE wind swells pulse in to our region.
If you’re keen for something bigger, it looks as though you’ll have a choice of heading to far western Vicco or the far north coast and SE Queensland. The former region could be thumping toward the end of the week according to the projections, while the latter should have some size, but east winds will keep the quality at a fairly ordinary level at most spots. However some of the points could be the goods, especially up around Noosa toward the end of the week…
