Long period sets

Hello Friends,

Like yesterday, swell is still south at about two metres and the average period is about 8 seconds. The key difference this morning is a spike to 16 seconds in the secondary swell. That means there are some solid overhead sets rolling into the exposed spots. Given how quickly it ramped up, I’d be expecting it to be equally quick on the way down. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was pretty much gone by lunchtime.

However that doesn’t mean the waves will be gone – just the obvious bomb sets.

The trend line on the forecast models remains steadily downward. There should be chest high sets on Monday, but if the forecasts are right, it’ll be close to flat from around Tuesday through to next weekend in Sydney.

So enjoy the juice today – just don’t expect to find too many waves to yourself. (It was very crowded at Dee Why from the start).

I’ll try to get a few more pics today and to post some stuff I shot yesterday.

Go well!
