Hello Friends,
As foretold by the swell models, there is a tiny uptick into the just barely surfable range at Dee Why beach (forget the point). Swell is out of the south and is showing at 1.5 metres out at sea. The period is a useful 10 seconds, so places with good south exposure could be into the chest high range on sets. Dee Why was struggling to get much above the waist high mark while I watched it, but I guess there could be sets a bit bigger than that. The outlook is for the swell to weaken through the day and for us to be back to flat tomorrow.
Wind and weather should be just about perfect today. The breeze is due to stay out of the west to NW and the skies should be sunny all day long. Tide is low at 0820 and high just a bit before 1500.
If you can get in for a splash, do so because the models are looking very grim for the next 7-10 days. Huey can always change that on us, so here’s hoping the supercomputers running the numbers are overly pessimistic.
Have yourself a great day!

It looks as though a little 10sec period pulse started filling in during the last few hours of the day. I went out for a squiz with board in tow. Ended up not getting in, but came close because there were definitely some waist to chest high plus sets on the bigger ones.
The swell’s pretty straight south, so the spots with best exposure to that direction were doing the most. Plus the tide was kinda high, so fatness was something of an issue. That said, I saw a number of waves that would’ve been worth the wait.
Looking at the buoy data from down south, it seems that the 10 sec component might only last until around midnight. If that happens we could be back to near flat tomorrow morning. My hope is that the power levels will hang in there and that early risers will get something at south swell spots in Sydney. It’ll be high tide at daybreak, dropping to low at 1144.
Here’s the Bureau’s call:

Wednesday: Wind: N/NE freshening to 15/25 knots in the afternoon and evening.
Thursday: Wind: N/NW 20/30 knots.
There were peaks of one description or another from the bombies to south of the pole at Dee Why. Around at Curly it was people from one end to the other, but it looked most interesting at the south end when I was there. Anyway, here’s a couple minute vid broadcast I made while I was checking it out…

About to get crunched inside at Longy bombies late this arvo.
Energy levels were there on the bigger ones late this afternoon at Long Reef.

Just thought I’d test to see if our pic uploader was working again and let you know that as of 1300, there was still swell aplenty at south facing spots.
From the look of the latest MHL data, the energy levels have stayed about the same all day. Not so sure about tomorrow, but I do note with interest that the period has increased down at Eden, so it is not without hope that I look forward to the possibility of a wave tomorrow (I kinda passed for other stuff today…)
South Curly won't have been the only place with waves today.
Still loads of waves getting into south facing stretches as of 1300.
