Swell focussing some places and missing others

Hello Friends,
As of 0500 the MHL buoy was recording 2.25 m from the SSE (163°) at 13 seconds. Wind was coming lightly from the west but will gradually come around to the NE by midday. Tide was a 1.55 m high at 0545 and is now dropping to a 0.48 low at 1155.
Swell was largely missing the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch. There was some size up at Northy but the swell direction was wrong for the place and no one was in the water. Around at Longy conditions were somewhat choppy but the shories were producing some punchy sections with wave faces into the head high range. As you moved down the beach, the surface cleaned up, but the bank situation is still pretty bad (lots of shutdowns) and there were only a handful of hopefuls chasing head plus sets. The main action was at the point where there around 20 people in the water by 0700 when I was grabbing the pictures.
Outlook is for the energy to stick around all day but to be on the fade. With luck tomorrow will have something as well because thereafter it looks like three or four days of small and marginal at best on most of the models. That said, those same models are showing a fresh south pulse filling in overnight Wednesday. If today’s predictions pan out, it’ll keep building into the 3+ metre range and stay there through next weekend. Wind call is for S-SW across the period in question. So, could be interesting…
Have yourself a top old Saturday and beginners, maybe sit this one out!
