Hello Friends,
Writing to you this morning from the salubrious surrounds of the Freshie carpark. The radio is on with news of the horrendous fires in Victoria. I suspect that no matter where you are in Australia, and no matter what you’re doing, you’re thinking about those folks today and wishing them the best.
Surf situation is pretty ordinary along the southern end of the northern beaches. The cooling southerly is chewing the surface up a fair amount at the exposed stretches.
No one was in the water at Curly when I stopped to grab a snap at around 0730. It didn’t look that awful really, so I was a little surprised at the lack of attendance. Definitely saw a couple in the waist to chest high range at the south end too. Admittedly, the high tide is making the weak east swell less than amazing looking, but you can see there’s a little energy there and maybe when the tide drops…
Here’s the Bureau’s call for today:
Wind: S/SE 15/20 knots, reaching 20/25 knots at times during the afternoon. Sea: 1.5 to 2.5 metres. Swell: E/NE 1.5 to 2 metres.
Tuesday: Wind: E/SE 8/13 knots increasing to 13/18 knots ahead of an afternoon or evening S change 20/30 knots. Sea: about 1 metre, rising to 1 to 1.5 metres, then 2 to 3 metres. Swell: SE about 1.5 metres.
