Hello Friends,
Pretty spring morning with an incoming tide and a fading SE wind swell. At 0500 the MHL buoy was picking up about 1.5 metres of 8.5 second ESE-SE wind swell. When I checked it around 0630, there were occasional waist to chest plus wave faces to be had from south to north Narrabeen. From Dee Why to the Pole, it was chest plusses and more consistent (with larger crowds too). There should be heaps of spots from Curly northward along the beaches with a wave of some sort this morning.
Tide is high at 0800 and then drops nearly 2 metres to the low at 1415.
Wind is set to be NW this morning but to go more N to NE for the afternoon session.
I’d get out now if I could!
