Hello Friends
Swell has arrived. A bit raw-boned and messy, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen in weeks. Heaps of folks on it at Dee Why from 0600.
Swell looks to be pretty much S-SE with wave faces in the 8-foot range on the biggest ones. I’d guess the period is around the 9-10 sec mark (the MHL site hasn’t updated since yesterday evening).
Weather is perfect and we’ve got an incoming tide with light SW winds to begin.
And good news on the forecast front. The models which were showing a very brief spike, now reckon the swell could last at around this intensity (maybe even getting jucier) through tomorrow midday. And tomorrow could see more west to the wind direction as well… woohoo!
Tides: H @1130, L @1800
