Southerly morning

Hello Friends,
Saw Curly and then Dee Why around 0900-ish this morning. The sky was darkening and the south wind was bumping it up, but there are definitely head plus sets coming in. Problem is that they seemed to be really slow and gutless. THe HML buoy was showing 12 seconds, so not sure what’s going on. Maybe it’s the 1.65 m high tide at 0900…
Hardly anyone in the water at south Curly, but it looked like a fair amount of work for slow and sloppy overhead wave faces. 20+ in the water at the point and a few scattered up the beach from there at Dee Why. Again, choppy, lumpy and ponderous is how I’d describe it.
Swell is set to build to 3 metres out at sea and the wind should be 15-25 kts from the S-SW. So not utterly hopeless if you’re keen.
Tomorrow the wind is supposed to be more SE-NE across the day, but not blowing as hard as the forecast for today.
Swell ought to stick around too and then it declines on Thursday while wind goes north. Right now from Friday onward into the front half of next week looks like being really small to flat on most of the models.
Have yourself a grand Tuesday one and all!
