Tiny wave spotted
Posted by: Don on November 30th, 2012
Hello Friends,
War;m one coming up for much of the east coast today. You won’t be surprised to hear that there’s not much going on at the beach for surfers. Down Dee Why way the metre or so of 5 second period NE wind swell was producing the very occasional knee high peak as high tide approached (at 0855). Wind was light early, bur as the temp goes up inland, the NE’r is going to kick in and by late this afternoon it should be going pretty hard. With luck that will produce a few little waves at the NE wind swell spots. Looks as though the water temps are creeping up toward boardies too. Of course with the NE’r, we’ll probably see it pegged back a bit and we may have the odd fleet of bluies too.
Summer is in the house.
Go well with your Friday!
