Hello Friends,

Not much happening late this morning. There are some waist plus lumps at exposed spots, so it’s not flat. Wind is of course a factor though. It’s out of the NE at about 15 kts and the Bureau says we can expect it to be up to 30 kts at exposed spots by late afternoon.

Tide was high around 0820 and is headed to a low just before 1500.

Wind swell is coming from the ENE at about 1.5 metres with an average period of a touch under 9 seconds.

I saw some waist plus sets at Dee Why this morning, so there are little waves around, but as usual under the circumstances, your biggest options will be where the wind is strongest. Tomorrow morning for the early could be a possibility as the wind should blow all night but tail off toward dawn. A SW change is expected at lunchtime, so despite the incoming tide, morning looks the best shot.

Have a top Saturday!

Weather Situation
