Hello Friends,
We’re in for a southerly day, but this morning started out reasonably glassy with little south windswell waves to be found. I saw some waist high waves plus waves along the No Man’s to Dee Why stretch and a few somewhat smaller ones at North Narrabeen. The MHL buoy shows the average height of the swell at sea to be around the 2.5 metre mark. The reason it’s much smaller than that is because the average period is only 7 seconds.
Tide’s going to drop through the morning, but it’s set to be SE by midday. However, the Bureau says it’ll go around to the NE later, so just maybe there’ll be something of interest in the north corners toward dark.
This morning’s run of the swell models continues to show modest conditions for our region across the rest of the working week. However, Saturday is still showing a juicy southern ocean swell arriving. Unfortunately the wind call is for easterlies and the weather is likely to be cloudy with a few showers.
Have yourself a great day and keep on smilin’
TIDES: L @1145, H @1745
