Hello Friends,
20 kts or so of SSW wind and partly cloudy skies as Monday kicked off in Sydney. Swell energy is mainly from the SSW, but there’s stuff coming from the SE as well. High tide a little before 1000 was swamping Dee Why and the Collaroy Narrabeen stretch, but in both cases there were a few knee to waist plus bumps folding gently in. It’s averaging around 2.5 metres at sea, but the average period is a wind swelly 7 seconds.
You better get on it though, because the Bureau says it’ll be going SE late this morning and then staying out of that unhelpful direction for the next few days at least.
Nothing of interest to Sydney surfers on this morning’s run of the long range forecast models, so it looks as if we’re in for another week of marginal and often onshore conditions.
Keep on smilin’!
