Hello Friends,
Sorry about the slow loading site today. Either we got a ton of traffic from someplace, or, what’s more likely, Don messed up and posted a stupid big picture… but we’re back now, so herewith a bit of a wrap on this morning’s proceedings.
After posting my first report, I hoped into the battered old soob and increased my greenhouse footprint on your collective behalves. The windswell was definitely better this morning than yesterday and before aroun 0930 it was also pretty clean, despite the pre-existing NE wind.
Dee Why was on the edge of being junked out when I saw it, and the waves weren’t looking too wonderful. On the other hand, it was quite uncrowded and it did look as though there might have been something diverting up the beach toward No Man’s. Doubtless the steady NE breeze has not done it any favours in the hours since.
I went down as far as Freshy, but could see from my usual vantage point on the northern headland that it was not too great. A few people were in the water, but it looked slow and fat and mostly not above waist high. Queensy, from what I could see of it, seemed to be a touch bigger, but busy and kinda junky looking.
Curly ended up being the most interesting option. The south end was churned up and messy, but the north end had some fat, spilling peaks that would occasionally stand up on the inside. Should be better now with the lower tide.
I ended up getting in the water for a few of them, but my scorecard didn’t really look too good. Oh well.
After I got out, I looped up for a look at Northy. Wind was more into it there, so the surface was not as nice and clean. But the crowd was roughly similar (moderate, not stupid) and I saw a couple lefts actually run down the beach aways. Betcha a few people had fun out there.
During the day, the average period has crept up to nearly 10 seconds. So although the size is still bumping along at an average of just under 2 metres, I’d be expecting the waves to have at the very least stayed about the same. Direction is swinging about between east and ESE.
Should be a good arvo for north corners in Sydney.
