Hello Friends,
Our little east swell of yesterday seems to have moved around to the ESE this morning, while at the same time losing quite a bit of power. Size is still an okay 1.75m out at sea, but the average period has fallen to 7 seconds – which is getting toward the gutless chop end of the scale.
There were a couple bods flopping about in the weak little shories at Dee Why at around 0700. But if it wasn’t really the spot yesterday, it’s even less the spot today. If you’re keen, I’d be looking at spots with a better alignment to the swell direction.
This morning’s weak sunshine is set to give way to rain later. At the same time the wind should push up into the 20-30kt range from the NE this afternoon. I suppose that might mean some junky, bumpy options in the semi-protected north corners. But with the rainy skies and wind, I’d say you won’t have much competition in the water.
Tomorrow we can apparently expect the rainy weather to continue and the wind to be more northerly and similar in strength to this afternoon. The Bureau’s modelling is showing 2-3 metres of easterly swell, so who knows, there just might be something in those north corners…
Speaking of modelling, the various interpretations of the WAMs for our region are all pointing at some solid 3 metre south swell from late Sunday into Tuesday. Fingers crossed eh?
