Hello Friends,
Since this time yesterday, the swell has dropped from two metres to a metre, the primary direction has gone from SE to east and most significantly, the average period has weakened from around 11 seconds to close to 8 seconds. At Dee Why that means the point is unoccupied and kiddies is equally empty. The only waves I saw when I checked for the first time today were up the beach toward No Mans. I’d say anything above the waist high mark will be a bonus.
From the look of the models, we’re in for more or less the same as we have this morning right through the weekend and maybe to the middle of next week when it seems we might have some large but raw (ie shortish period) south swell and strong southerlies. I’ll be interested in the Goat’s take on this.
Have yourself a top old day!
TIDES: H @1030, L @1600
