Hello Friends,
Now that’s a bit more like it. Soft offshores meant nearly glassy at Dee Why for the first arrivals this morning. The Bureau says it’ll be SE before long, so move quick or see options severely restricted. MHL data was offline when I checked, so it’s eyeball only this morning from me. Sets appear to be around the chest to maybe even occasionally head high mark on the bombs. Looks more south than not to me and period seems to be around the 8 second mark, maybe a bit longer. Reasonably consistent but our desperate lack of banks situation continues. That’s putting extra pressure on the point which was at full Sunday with waves crowd strength when I grabbed the snaps at 0800.
Low tide was at 0720 and high will roll in at 1320.
Outlook is for south to SE wind over the next couple of days with swell at around the present intensity. Tuesday’s forecast is for variable wind and much the same swell, so that and Weds morning could be the pick days for the coming week as the latest modelling is pointing toward a drop back into the marginal range thereafter. Happily though it does not look like fading to flat and some of the long range predictions are saying we should have something to surf on pretty much through mid-month. Swell season is upon us at long last.
Have a great Sunday one and all!
