Hello Friends,
Light easterly bumping the tops over on a small (metre or so) SE swell (10 seconds) this morning. At Dee Why this translates into knee to waist high little things, but there are occasionally bigger sets (see picture).
The good thing is that the wind is set to decrease a little across the middle part of the day before coming back up in the evening. So, if you’re not fussed by a light onshore, there should be little waves of some description at lots of places today.
The latest run of the swell forecast model interpretations tells us that we’re increasingly likely to see solid east swell from as early as Wednesday. The wind forecast is not good for Wed-Thr (basically blasting SE) but it could turn more straight south Fri-Sat which would open up possibilities in a few corners.
So have yourself a good Sunday and keep on smilin’!
Tides: L @0825, H @1410
