Hello Friends,
Partly cloudy along the beaches this morning with 9-10 kts of ESE wind and swell at sea was 1.6 metres at 10 seconds from the SSE. Apart from North Narrabeen and the Manly stretch, water quality is good at all our beaches. As the pictures confirm, surf conditions are junky and really only for the most desperately keen.
Surf prospects remain ho-hum for the remainder of the week according to the swell models. The long range outlook seems to have brightened a bit with at least some prospect of better conditions mid-next week. That’s a long way out of course, so we’ll see.
Have a great Tuesday everyone
