Gardens on high tide

Stopped by south Narra to see how it was faring at around 0830. Skies were mostly heavily overcast, but there were some photographically interesting patches of light on the sea. Naturally I had the camera with me, so I grabbed a few shots to share.

The surf conditions were clean, but the tide was just on high so they were mostly floppy and hard to get into for the crew of two or three in the water. Wind was okay as well, but at that point it was still out of the SW. Once it comes more around to the predicted S-SE those smooth faces will probably be a lot less so. However, the Bureau does say the wind should back off a little in the afternoon.

Swell is due to stick around at about the present size, but the period is still averaging a less than amazing 8 seconds – with some 10sec component.

Have yourself a top old day.
