Beautiful morning, shame about the surf

Hello Friends,

Microscopic again this morning where Dee Why’s concerned, and given the swell settings (a metre from the south at 6 seconds), you’d have to guess the story is the same all across our region. But it’s a beautiful morning out there, so that has to be a good thing.

With no surf prospects today, a surfer’s thoughts (and mouse) turn to the forecast… and the latest run of data is looking, shall we say, heartening.

The latest run of the models, and the numerous prediction riffs run thereon, show a nice big fetch pointing our way late in the week. If it happens, Huey could pull the lever in a pretty good way and send us some solid overhead south swell from as early as late Friday. What’s more, from my reading of the charts, it really looks as though we could have pumping conditions right through the weekend and into Monday. And just to gladden my photographer’s heart, the call is for sunny weather too. Really looking forward to getting a few more pictures of you all!

Have yourself a top old Tuesday, may it all go well for you.
