Waves!

Hello Friends,

Fun looking, if not super clean, 9 second period east swell of a couple metres lighting up the joint. Set waves are in the head high plus range at Dee Why point and it seemed to be pretty consistent too. Tide is low at about 0815 and winds were light for the early. The Bureau says they’ll go around to the north to NE as the day unfolds, so I’d expect surf options to contract to the usual NE spots by lunch time.

From the shape of the buoy data, it looks as though the swell hasn’t peaked yet either.That said, the Bureau says it’ll be back to a metre tomorrow. And we’re due to have another south change through late, so Thursday morning will be south wind spots only.

So, get out there early if you can because this morning looks like being the peak for at least another week.
