Hello Friends,
Swell pushed up overnight and there’s not much wind around. It seems to have caught the denizens of Dee Why unawares though. No one in the water that I could see a little before 0700. That will no doubt change very soon though.
The buoy data is showing a couple metres of SSE swell at about 9 seconds apart on average. There’s a little bit of 10 sec component in there as well and that probably accounts for the set wave I snapped for this morning’s picture.
Bureau says that the wind should go around to the ENE as the day goes along and get up to 10-15kts. They also expect this little pulse to gradually fade by tonight.
Tomorrow is currently looking like being smaller, but by Weds afternoon, we could see a new round of NE windswell in the chest high range at exposed spots. By Thursday it could be bigger and more around to the east. And then the models go for a big call on the weekend. They reckon a solid batch of substantial south swell – with strong SSW winds.
As usual, we shall see…
Have yourself a top old day!
1100: Found some waves at south Avalon this morning on the incoming tide. Eventually got too fat and full, but there were some solid head high sets and it was reasonably consistent. Weirdly, it wasn’t as crowded as usual. The grey skies maybe?
