Hello Friends,
Right on schedule it’s here. A nice looking line showing along the beach at Dee Why and at the point. According to MHL data, the swell is coming from the SSW at nearly two metres with an average period of 11 seconds. Wave faces look to be chest plus along the beach and waist plus at the point. The steady 10-15kts of westerly wind is ensuring conditions are clean but pretty chilly.
Next tide is a high at 1050.
Swell should stick around at about this size for the next 24-36 hours says the Bureau. Wind should stay offshore and skies will be sunny too. The forecast models are showing a similar outlook. Broadly speaking they’re showing waves through Thursday before things start to sputter and the predictions start diverging with some being hopeful for Saturday and others saying we’ll be back to very small by then.
Stay happy everyone!
