Hello Friends,
We have a lined up looking 13-sec 3 metre S by SSE swell rolling into the beaches of Sydney this morning. Surface conditions were glassy and at Dee Why there were lots of people in the water along the beach and a few out at the point. Faces were in the shoulder plus range on the sets. Tide hit high at 0715 and is now dropping to the low at 1515.
Wind is going to come up from the south at 15-20 kts, so the plan is not to leave it too late this morning.
Today looks like being the peak for the week as most of this morning’s models are pointing to a steady decline to marginal by the weekend.
Have yourself a top old Tuesday everyone!
