Hello Friends,
From my excellent vantage point at South Curly, I can see the little east south east swell angling in. It’s pretty listless though. Kinda like my notebook battery which seems to be on the point of fading out. The MHL buoy is telling us that we have about a metre on average of 7sec period windswell. What this means, as the pictures I’ve posted illustrate, is that we’re facing marginal conditions, to put it mildly.
The biggest wave I’ve seen this morning was in the middle of Curly. It was maybe waist high for four or five seconds before it sank away to nothing. Still, the guy on it was doing better than yours truly has since returning from Cali, so I’m not feeling in the slightest bit superior.
(battery died, so now somewhat later…)
It looks to me from the data that one has to travel a long way north from Sydney to get a chance at a reasonable wave. And even then, I’m not sure how spectacular the options will be. Might have a look at some cams later to see if I can find anything of interest on that front.
Outlook through the rest of the work week seems to be pretty much more of the same, ie a metre or so at sea and 6-7 sec from the ESE to ENE. Wind today is set to be 8/13 kts SE, swinging NE in the arvo, but not picking up much. Tomorrow the NE should kick in harder in the afternoon and maybe drive up something at NE windswell spots toward late afternoon.
Go well with your plans!
