Hello Friends,
S to SSE at 15-20 kts. Pretty much says it all. Yesterday’s east swell has been replaced by 3 metres of 7-second period SSW wind swell. If you’re really keen, there are a few waist high plus lumps at Dee Why. But the desperation factor needs to be significant I’d say.
The wind is supposed to back off a little as the day goes along, but I’d be surprised if the surf conditions improve significantly, if at all.
I’m not happy with the swell modelling this morning friends. There really isn’t much to give a lift to a surfer’s heart. If they have it right, we’re in for a week (at least) of marginal to flat conditions. Time to rack up the brownie points I guess.
Hope you have a great day anyway and that those models are proven spectacularly wrong sooner rather than later!
