Setty but something early

Hello Friends,

According to the latest from the Bureau, the little set I watched arrive at Dee Why this morning should be a harbinger of more to come as a south pulse begins to fill in along the Sydney coastlne. As the tide drops to a low at midday, the swell is expected to get into the two metre range. But the wind’s likely to be an issue as it swings from the SW to S and SE. Average period is around the ten second mark so that should mean the odd head high set at the more exposed spots. Could be some fun before that wind swings…

This morning’s run of the WAMs reveals that the supercomputers calculate that we’ll have another couple days of waves out of the south before things drop into a typical springtime routine of marginalness.

So, all and all, not a bad way to kick off the week.

BTW, I’ll be posting a fresh gallery of pictures taken at Curly yesterday from around 1pm. There were a few fun ones in the mix thanks to the offshores and occasional head high sets.

Go well!

From the Bureau
