Hello Friends,
Swell may only have been 1.3 metres on average this morning, but it was still 12 seconds apart and coming more from the ESE than yesterday. At Dee Why point that meant there were still some head high plus faces on the biggest ones. Wind was light early, but is set to be north and then NE later. So hit the south ends early, or potentially miss out. With luck the swell should fade only gradually today before dropping back to small for the next couple of days. Then, take a deep breath.
If the models have it right – and they’ve broadly been in agreement for nearly a week now – a new east swell will gradually start to build from Friday and by Sunday it could potentially be a rinse and repeat of the last few days, only this time some of the predictions are projecting well overhead to seriously overhead from Sunday on to the middle of next week. Looks like Huey’s back!
I’ve done a reasonable amount of shooting over the last few days, and plan to continue. So if you see me at the beach, wave hello and remember, my goal is to make us regular folks of average ability look good! 🙂
Go well with your Tuesday!
