Hello Friends,
That curse’d ol’ SSE easter is really pranging the surface conditions this morning. We do have swell, indeed a few hours ago the MHL buoy was detecting 2.5 metres from the SSE at 11 seconds apart. Unfortunately, as the pictures show, it was really pretty junky and disorganised at even the magnet spots such as Dee Why beach. Shoulder to head on the bombs maybe, but 99% messy close outs.
Tide’s just gone low and will be back to the high at 1400.
The Bureau tells us that it’ll be south-easterly through the weekend. On Monday we should slip into a more summery pattern with afternoon nor’easters and small, generally weak, vaguely southerly wind bump.
While the front half of the coming work week looks kinda marginal on the models, the back half has taken on a decidedly interesting complexion. If the super computers have it right, we could be looking at an extended run of solid – but not crazy big – longish period (12-14s) east swell with mostly light winds from around Friday. One of the real long range predictions shows it being very good right through next week. That’d be nice.
Have yourself a fine old Saturday everyone and keep on smilin’!
