Hello Friends,

Managed to get one pic before the fog swirled back in again this morning. It’ll burn off as the day goes along. Not a lot going on wave-wise it has to be said. The Bureau says the swell should be out of the east, but according to the MHL buoy the dominant energy is from the SE this morning. Average size at sea is about a metre and the period is sitting on about 9 seconds. There were a few bods up the beach from the surf club at Dee Why getting the very occasional knee to waist high set. Looks like a great morning to just be paddling about, enjoying the unusual on again off again fog, catching the odd little peeler and chatting with mates.

The outlook is for conditions to bump along at about these settings through lunchtime. By then the NE’r should have settled in and the surf options will be contracting to the north corners.

The swell is fading slowly away, but according to this morning’s run of the forecast models, it should be not quite flat tomorrow. Early in the week is looking rather dire at this stage. Happily some of the models are showing a small but long period pulse possibly developing late in the week at south spots.

Have yourself a great Saturday!
