Dull skies, but not flat

Hello Friends,

Yesterday’s heat and very nice little east windswell are but a memory. The cool air is back and so are the southerlies. Last night the Bureau said it thought the wind would still be going pretty hard this morning, but it doesn’t seem too bad for semi-protected south corners such as Dee Why. Wind’s currently out of south at 10-15kts. So too is the windswell which is coming from the same direction as the wind and is around 2 metres at sea with a power setting of 8 seconds.

What that means for a spot like Dee Why is set waves into the chest high range, but mostly it’s smaller than that. The Bureau says we should see the wind and swell weaken through the day, so it’s probably a plan to go earlier rather than later if you can.

Sunday in Sydney is set to feature E-NE winds of 10-20 kts with a small 1.5 metre remenant SE windswell. Another change is due should rattle Sydney’s windows on Monday and the generally southerly conditions will then settle in for at least a couple days. The models are showing something of a replay of today for Tuesday (but maybe a bit bigger). But the most interesting prospect currently looks to be early Thursday when we could get a couple meters of long period (12-15sec) south swell with light offshores.

Have yourself a top old Saturday!
