ARVO UPDATE:
Had to run an errand or two so, as usual, took a camera with me (Pansonic’s solidly built TZ-2) and grabbed a snap at Longy. Very tiny conditions but the water sure looked like a nice place to be on such a hot day. Only a few people scattered along a smattering of peaks from Longy to just past the pole. Nothing any bigger than the shot I’ve posted with this update. Wind is still out of the NW in Sydney, but it looks as though the change is heading this way because it’s now out of the SW down at about Moruya. Stay cool!
Hello Friends,
After a dull grey weekend, Sydney wakes up to sunny skies and a steady NW breeze of around 8 knots. Down at the seashore the little SE windswell of yesterday has moved around to the NE and become both smaller and closer together. A few bods in the water at Dee Why catching the odd little waist high peak (mostly they’re smaller than that), but they don’t appear to have much on them. Hardly surprising really as the average period is bumbling along at 7 seconds and it’s only around a metre out at sea.
The WNW wind is set to build to 20-25 kts ahead of a late afternoon south change of similar strength. Once that happens we should see the swell come around to the south and start build up overnight. The Bureau says the S-SE wind should ease through the day on Tuesday, but the swell should stick around and be generally from the south for the following few days. The long period stuff showing in the models late last week is no longer there. Oh well.
Yesterday evening I had a look at the models to see where in the world it might be good today (because it was looking marginal for Australia) and came up with a few links for those interested in a bit of a web surf. If you’ve found a great surfing-related link, why not pass it along via the form below.
Have yourself a top old day!
