Hello Friends,
Good to be wrong about my expectations for this morning. The waves aren’t consistent and they aren’t very big, but there was a little line trickling in at Dee Why as of 0800 Tuesday morning. Sets looked to be into the waist high range but mostly it was smaller than that. Surface conditions were smooth and the wind was west at 10 kts or so. The MHL buoy was showing 1.4 metres of 9-sec SSE swell as of 0600. Tide’s running into the 1.4m high at 1100 and today should be partly cloudy.
Outlook is for the little conditions to stick around more or less through Thursday before ramping up overnight and getting into the 3 metre range for Friday morning when wind should be from the SW. The swell is predicted to roll off from the Friday peak but if the current modelling is correct, we should see 10-11 sec south swell through Sunday. Here’s hoping!
Have a great Tuesday everyone!
