Arvo update: barely there but there

Posted by: on January 15th, 2010


Hello Friends,

On an errand mid-arvo, so I had a look at Curly to see how the little swell was doing. And it was doing, well, little. A few bods in the water, mostly down toward the south end of the beach. They were catching soft little crumblers which ran for maybe 10-20 metres at best before decaying away.

Over the hill at Dee Why, it looked even less appetising. From the live feed at the contest it doesn’t look dramatically better than Curl Curl. The MHL buoy is showing a little bit of 10 sec component in the mainly weak 7 sec period SE windswell. When one of those longer period sets turns up, wave faces can briefly get into the shoulder high range. But they’re generally back into waist high or smaller a few seconds later.

Outlook for tomorrow is for all settings to stay pretty much the same, ie light seabreeze from the SE in the morning with the high tide, swinging more to the NE and picking up a touch in the afternoon.

Have yourself a grand Friday evening!

Rainy days

Hello Friends,
Looks as though early risers will find a Thursday morning of marginal quality in Sydney. It’s still dark as I write this and the winds are relatively light out of the NW. Swell is sputtering along at about a metre from the south east with a weak 7 second average period. There’s nothing on the buoy data to suggest it will improve much by the time it gets light along the beaches of Sydney.

Wind is set to blow hard from the west today and that will not help the already tiny conditions. Tomorrow doesn’t look a heckuva lot better on the models, but on Saturday there just might be something at protected south spots that will be vaguely tempting for the weekend warriors…

Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Strong Wind Warning.
Wednesday until midnight: Wind: W’ly 25/33 knots.Sea: 2 to 3 metres. Swell: E/NE about 1 metre. Chance isolated thunderstorms.
Thursday: Wind: W/SW 20/30 knots.Sea: 2 to 3 metres. Swell: S 1 to 1.5 metres.
Friday: Wind: S/SW 15/25 knots.
Saturday: Wind: SW/SE 10/20 knots.

Meanwhile, here in SoCal you’re not missing much. A warm storm blew in yesterday (from the SE which is quite unusual) and has dumped a fair amount of rain on the place. The ocean is trying to consolidate into something sort of surfable, but I’d say it’ll be another 24 hours before I’m tempted. Outlook is for small to very small conditions though, so I’d say anything above waist high will be a gift.

Go well with your plans!
