Hello Friends,
A quick pictureless early report for ya.
Swell is around the 1.5 metre mark but only about 8 seconds apart. It’s coming from the south. Although wind wasn’t doing much early, the Bureau says it’ll be southerly soon (already blowing from that direction at 0715 down the coast from us)
Later that morning.
Made the Manly run and grabbed a few snaps of the glassy but fat and full conditions along the way. The southerly was just about to hit at that stage so surface conditions are now different.
Manly was showing knee with occasional waist plus on the magnet peaks. Said peaks were scattered from about south Styene north to Queensie. Around at Curly there were fewer surf options. A few folks were messing about in the short period sloppy waist-ish conditions. At Dee Why it was a similar story, but seemed to be a touch smaller.
Outlook for the next couple of days seems to be pretty similar to these conditions, except that the wind should be better because the southerly will have subsided. Swell energy may increase a little on Thursday if the models have picked it.
Tide was high today at 0940 and will be high tomorrow about 1025.
Have yourself a top old Tuesday!
Weather Situation
A slow-moving high pressure system south of the Bight extends a ridge along the New South Wales coast, bringing south to southeasterly winds to most waters. During today and Wednesday a new high will form over the Tasman Sea, accompanied by a northerly wind shift over southern and central parts of the coast. This pattern is likely to see little change through to the end of the week.
