Hello Friends,
Swell ramped overnight. It’s raw and scrappy looking at semi-exposed south spots like Dee Why and cleaner at more protected spots like south Narra. The MHL buoy is showing an average height of 3 metres at sea with an average period of close to 9 seconds, but inshore the wave faces are mostly shoulder high or smaller. You’ll get the most bang for your buck at south spots. Wind was W-WSW for the early – but it’s set to swing south soon…
Have a good one!
