Hello Friends,
What a top old morning. I slept in as usual, but thousands didn’t and by the time I pointed the lens at Dee Why from me old crow’s nest, there was goodly crew well and truly on it. Swell seemed to fade yesterday afternoon late, but it sure hasn’t gone away. Pretty consistent too. Sets looked to be into the 1.5x to 2x overhead range and the wind was not a factor.
Turning to the MHL buoy data, we have 3 metres of SSE swell at about 10 sec apart. This is maybe half the size of yesterday’s peak, but the slight east in it is making the point much more surfable. Yesterday there was plenty of size, but the quality wasn’t too fabulous.
As I write this a little after 0900, the wind isn’t much of a factor. But the Bureau says it will pick up into the afternoon and swing from the present SW to a less useful, S-SE and be in the 15-20 kt range. So, I’d make for the beach now, rather than later.
I’ll try to get out and about with the camera, so go well – and stay in touch!
