Hello Friends,
Yep. Still small to nearly flat. Wind swell this morning is out of the NE. It’s maybe a metre out at sea, but the average period is around the 6 second mark, so it’s going to be another day of feeble and tiny conditions better suited to swimming or snorkeling than surfin’. Dee Why is a good for instance. There are a reasonable number of folk in the water as I write this before 0700, but they’re struggling to find anything above about knee high.
The forecast is calling for an increasing NE’r in the Sydney region today. 25-30kts of wind should be enough to push up some junky chest high sets at exposed spots for the late. Tide’s going to be high around 0930, so those bigger wind swell waves this afternoon will be hitting under low tide conditions. Given the prolonged period of microness (and therefore very uniform banks), that will probably mean lots of shutdowns in the mix. Nothing too unusual in that I guess, we are heading into summer after all.
Long range outlook remains much as it has been for the Sydney region – ie generally marginal to small, short period NE wind swell. Hey, what can ya do but keep on smilin’!
Go well one and all!
