Very small Sunday

Swell is just about out of gas...

Hello Friends,
Little tiny waves are all we have on offer this morning in Sydney. Swell out at sea is around about a metre at 7 seconds apart. It’s coming from the ENE, so that should mean that a few spots which have missed out on the small mainly southerly wavelets could be picking up some knee high action today. Mind you, we’re going to a biggish high tide at 1136, so I expect whatever little peaks that may be working now to be throughly swamped before long.

Outlook for the next few days is looking pretty abject for Sydney, but the models are currently showing the possibility of solid, long period groundswell around Fri-Sat. That of course is right at the limit of the models, so I wouldn’t be committing to a plan just let, but if it shapes up the way they predict, we could see exceptionally long periods (15 sec) – which means swell getting into well protected corners and having heaps of power at exposed locations. Replacement board sales week after next could zoom!

FWIW, one interpretation of the model data is also showing a solid pulse hitting us around Thursday. Between now and then though… good for catching up on things I’d say.

Go well with your day!
