Hello Friends,
Moderate offshore breezes kicked off the first of April in Sydney. Huey turned on the wave tap by just a bit yesterday arvo and this morning saw the odd chest to shoulder high set in the mix at south swell spots.
Wind is due to swing around to the south and SW as the tide fills in, so you’d have to think the earlier the better.
Swell is averaging a couple metres at sea but it has a 7 second average period, so there’s not much power. The outlook over the next few days is for more or less much of the same. With luck we’ll have the Goat’s thoughts later on today, but for now, looking at the various prediction riffs on the WAM data suggests that the little low forming off the east coast probably won’t sling much swell at us. But at least the prospects aren’t for flatness. And if we’re lucky there could be a bump late in the weekend as some east energy arrives.
Have yourself a great April Fool’s day!
