A Saturday with waves

Hello Friends,

Not fabulous quality, but there are definitely waves around the place.

The numbers look good: SE swell at a couple metres with an average period of close to 10 seconds and no wind to speak of. But the low tide reality this morning along the Collaroy-Narra and Longy-Dee Why stretches is not matching the stats. It’s still rather messy and junky, so don’t go expecting anything wonderful in the way of quality.

Wind was not a factor early, but by midday it’s set to be pushing along at 20 kts out of the NE. So, if like me you have obligations this morning, your surf options will obviously be limited to northern corners that like a high tide.

I’ll try to get a few more pics later on and maybe to duck back with a few thoughts about the outlook for the week ahead.
