Hello Friends,
Yesterday’s solid and consistent SSE swell (pics up soon) has dropped from around 2 metres to a touch over 1 metre. Average period’s still over 11 seconds though and that means the odd chest high set at the point and likely similar along the beach. Couldn’t be certain about the latter because there weren’t any surfers visible up that way.
Wind was light west for the early and is expected to pick up from the NW. At the same time, the swell may decrease steadily across the day. Tide was high at 0700 and is dropping back to the low at 1240.
It looks like tomorrow’ll be small in the morning but then the SW wind will start to kick up and we should see an increase in the swell energy- although quality may not be there at most spots. Wednesday the Bureau tells us will see strong SW wind and a ramping south swell along with an 80 per cent chance of rain.
After that it would seem that we’re in for a run of swell through to mid next week. And some of the forecasts are showing some pretty big stuff Thursday and Friday – with heaps of SSE wind unfortunately.
Go well with your Monday!
