Grey skies but little waves

Hello Friends,

Cool and grey along the beaches this morning, but there are some little ESE windwaves to be had. As the pictures show, it’s not very big, but there are waist to chest high sets for the reasonably large number of keen punters up for the early at Dee Why.

With luck the winds should stay light through the morning before gradually swinging around to a junk-inducing ESE. Tide is high mid-morning, so unfortunately it will be getting fatter until about the time the wind junk takes over – and the windswell fades a bit.

Oh well, guess you better go quick.

Outlook for tomorrow is for it to be pretty marginal, but with luck not quite flat. Swell should stay basically out of the same ESE direction through the weekend.

 

Just the thing for sliding along next to the rocks this morning.

It’s the last day of kid cricket season and I really need to be at my daughter’s final game. But what about you? I’m pretty sure 90 percent of people who can surf, or would like to, were in the water this morning. I checked Manly (including the Bower), Freshy and Curly and certainly at around high tide, Manly was the pick – the very crowded pick – of the pack. Freshy had a few okay ones in the south corner and was good for learners up the north end. Curly had some size, but it was pretty fat and disorganised when I checked it around 0920-0930.

Anyway, here are a few snaps to give you a rough idea of how it all was looking…

Lotsa folks too...

0845: While a little group hunts on the point, one gets jagged inside.

Hello Friends,

Looks like the wind hasn’t picked up quite as much as expected – yet. The Bureau has hoisted the strong wind warning for SE’ly wind ranging from 20-30 kts. They als say we can expect 2-2.5 metres of east swell. The MHL buoy is showing a swerve back toward the SE at the moment. Average height is just over the 2 metre mark and average period is a shade under 8 seconds.

Quality where Dee Why’s concerned looks just a touch better than late yesterday. Not too many folks in the water yet either. Sets at the point look to be in the chest to shoulder high range. Along the beach they seemed to be about the same when I snapped the pictures, but I’d expect the usual size and consistency ratios to prevail (ie, the beach generally being bigger and more consistent).

What the computer thinks for day after tomorrow...

What the computer thinks for day after tomorrow...

The models are in general agreement that it won’t be flat this week in Sydney. Overall it looks as thought the SE’ly will continue to be the dominant factor through about Wednesday. I’m currently holding out hope that they’ll be right about Thursday and that we’ll see WSW winds in the morning with a bit of ESE swell (not dissimilar to what’s getting in right now).

Between now and then the swell intensity could build as an east pulse looks set to travel down the eastern seaboard toward us (see the graphic). Too bad about the damn SE wind. Mind you, east isn’t exactly the best direction for our stretch of coast. Not that many spots really like it much.

Have yourself a top old Sunday and stay in touch, you hear?
