Swell was pretty juicy this morning, but it began fading noticeably from late morning. As of sunset the average period was just 8 seconds (well down on the 11 sec we had at daybreak) and the average size dropped from 3 metres to a little under 2m. The direction’s changed too. It’s gone from SE to south, so that contributed no doubt to the rapid decline in size this afternoon.
The Bureau says that tomorrow’s weather will be similar to today’s – ie mainly sunny with w-sw winds of 20-30 kts. The wave prediction models are projecting a continuing gradual decrease in swell energy and from the way things are shaping up, it looks as though we can probably expect waist to chest high at south spots (the Bureau reckons it’ll be east, but the MHL buoy is showing the swell already south, so I’m going with that!).
I did a bit of shooting at Dee Why this morning, so I’ll have a fresh gallery up at some point tomorrow.
Have a great Friday evening and see you tomorrow.
