Hello Friends
Having to stay up late in an effort to get RealSurf’s forums updated. So, I’ve had time to watch the Batemans Bay buoy traces heading in the right direction. It’s around half twelve as I write this, and the latest data shows that it’s dead south down there, with average size pushing into the 3.5 metre range, but with peaks hitting close to 6 metres. Meanwhile, the average period has gone from around 7 seconds at lunch time to a touch over 10 seconds now. Peak periods are out at the 12 sec mark. Three metres of 12 sec period swell is seriously big – and, as last night’s late picture showed, it started filling into our region at dusk, so first light should see some macking sets at exposed locations.
Here’s the Bureau’s call:
Monday: Wind: SW 20/30 knots at first, easing to SW/SE 13/18 knots in the afternoon and S/SE 5/10 knots in the evening.Sea: 2 to 3 metres slowly abating to 1 to 1.5 metres.Swell: S 3 to 4 metres decreasing to 2 to 3 metres in the evening.
Tuesday Outlook: Wind: NW to 10 kts before N/NE 10/20 knots develops in the afternoon
Not sure how much later I’ll be up, so can’t say just when you’ll next hear from me… but it’ll be soon!
