Hello Friends,
First cool morning we’ve had in some time, and with it, sunny skies and a 10-15kts of W-WSW wind. But, there is one key ingredient missing.
Yep, you guessed it, no real swell to speak of. Yet.
Here’s the view from the crows nest at around 0800
Here’s the Bureau’s call:
Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Strong Wind Warning
Thursday until midnight: Wind: SW reaching 20/30 knots, chiefly offshore, and gradually easing to S/SE 15/20 knots during the afternoon/evening.Sea: 2 to 3 metres, abating 1 to 2 metres by evening. Swell: S increasing to 1.5 to 2.5 metres.
Friday: Wind: NW/SW 10/15 knots, becoming SE/NE 10/15 knots in the afternoon.Sea: to 1 metre. Swell: S 2 to 3 metres.
Saturday: Wind: E/NE 10/15 knots.
The MHL buoy is currently showing the windswell as around a metre and coming from the SSW at about 7 seconds apart.
The period setting isn’t much better, but down toward Eden, the windswell is currently creeping toward the 2 metre mark.
I’m going to run out and have a look around, so more from me later this morning. Go well!
