Hello Friends,
High tide’s a little after 0900 and low will be at 1450, swell’s only a metre from the SE, but it is 11 seconds apart, so while we’re pretty close to flat, magnet spots should have the odd knee high lump. One such was a Dee Why, just north of the club where, with the right gear, it was possible to pick up something in that size range every now and then.
Wind outlook is for northerlies, although it was pretty light early. The cloudy weather continues too. Tomorrow’s still shaping up to be smaller again and the same is in store for Thursday. However by Thursday evening, the SW wind could be blowing hard as a new south pulse develops.
Swell and wind are shaping to just be nuts on Friday with the former in the 3-5 metre range and the latter 30-40 kts from the south – with cloudy skies and the possibility of rain. Lovely.
Maybe Saturday or Sunday…
Have a great day one and all!
