Hello Friends,
At 0500 the Sydney MHL buoy was showing 1.5m of 9-sec SSE swell. A little before 0700 Dee Why point was picking up what looked to be the odd knee to waist set – although nobody was in thew water at the time. Up the beach there were similar size options. I grabbed a still from North Bondi RSL’s cam and it looks about the same over there too. Tide was high at 0600 and is now dropping to the low at 1140. Wind should be light and variable this morning and then 10-15 kts NE this afternoon.
This morning’s swell models are pointing toward another week of marginal to flat conditions. The best hope looks like being midweek when we might get a little uptick into the knee to waist range thanks to a very brief (only a few hours) long period pulse. But after that we’re back to marginal until maybe late in the weekend when a potentially fun looking south to SSE pulse could light the joint up…
Have yourself a great Monday one and all!
