And the swell continues


Hello Friends,

Sorry to run late, sleep to coughing ratio not good for your correspondent. Anyhoo, we still have waves for those of you who are hale and hearty. According to the latest data from the MHL buoy off Sydney, we’re looking at 3 metres of south swell at around 13 seconds. That’s juicy!

Sets at Dee Why point look to be into the 1.5x overhead range (on faces). Given that I only watched for a short time, I’m betting there are a few bigger ones in the mix as well.

Today should see the swell intensity slacken off but Huey is set to wind it up one more time tomorrow. Thereafter it looks as though the energy will gradually fade through the weekend and that next week will be mostly tiny to flat.

Tide was high at 0640 and will be low at @ 1215 before running up to a big high at 1850.

Take it easy, have some fun and do some good on the way through!
