Hello Friends,
Wind turned SE-ESE yesterday evening and this morning was 7-11 kts as of 0730. As a consequence, the ocean was looking choppy, lumpy and disorganised as high tide arrived at 0720. Swell was 1.75m at 9 seconds from the ESE at sea. It looked bad everywhere but there were a few stalwarts chasing lumps in possibly polluted water at Manly and Dee Why. Pretty low quality stuff to risk your health for.
It looks as though the onshores are with us through Thursday, but you could get lucky for the early sessions before the wind kicks in…
Go well everyone!
