Hello Friends,
Just wanted to give you the benefit of a little run-around conducted by yours truly this morning. Went down to north Curly first to see what the NE windswell was doing. There were a few people in the water chasing some occasionally head high plus peaks. The problem is that the period is really short. According to the latest from the MHL Sydney buoy, it’s around the 7 second mark. So, even though the average size is now pushing toward 3 metres out at sea, the waves are all over the place and constantly cancelling out. You’ll see something that looks pretty impressive wedging up, but a few seconds later it’s subsided away again. Classic windswell conditions where quick takeoffs and one or two turns are about the best you can hope for.
Decided to head up to Northy for a look-see there too. It was better than Curly, but not dramatically so. The same heaving weirdness was in play. As at Curly, I had to wait quite awhile to even get a snap of someone on a wave. Could be good exercise I guess, but we need the swell to sort itself out and consolidate a bit. Not sure if that will happen, but it if it does, I reckon the late is going to be the best bet.
