Hello Friends,
Swell seems to have backed off as anticipated but I did see at least one little one come into the beach at Dee Why when grabbed the pic. However, I’m reasonably confident that it was an unusually good one because I didn’t see another for the rest of the time I watched. Certainly it doesn’t look a patch on yesterday afternoon (click yesterday’s pics to get an idea).
The SW wind is already blowing pretty strongly out at sea and it’s expected to keep pushing up until it’s into the 20-30kt range this afternoon. That’ll hammer the last of the NE windswell. But the good news is that Huey’s in his workshop this weekend. Sounds to me as though he’s building us a nice strong south pulse too. The Bureau reckons it could show up late this afternoon, but the models think it’ll kick into gear overnight.
Tomorrow should see the same strong SW winds in the morning, but they’re set to fade through the day and the swell could be absolutely macking. The Bureau reckons 3.5-4.5 metres! And the models say the period should be around the 10 second mark. That is some serious juice. Plus it looks like we’ll be getting nice shooting weather as well.
All good! Enjoy your Sunday and if the schedule permits, I will try to check back with a bit of an update this evening.
