Hello Friends,
I’m stoked. I expected today to be nearly flat, but ‘lo, there were little lines peeling into Dee Why this morning. The bigger sets looked to be around the chest high mark at take off and some of ’em were running a reasonable distance too. Plus the wind was minimal.
Swell at sea has declined a touch overnight to just under a metre, but the period’s still nearly 11 seconds and the direction is ESE. Water temperature out at the buoy is an unnatural, but nice 18-19 degrees.
Tide hits high at 1215.
It’s sunny and mild as I tap the report out, but the Bureau says there’s a 60% chance of precipitation later.
The tiny waves are forecast to stick around for the next day or so before fading right away to flat. This morning’s swell modelling is being hopeful about late Sunday-early Monday. C’mon Huey, I need something better than that for next weekend because Nikon Australia’s going to let me have a go with their 800mm f/5.6 super telephoto lens.
Have yourself a top old Sunday!
