Hello Friends,
Dull start this morning as Huey dresses the joint in La Nina grey. Apparently there’s only a small chance of rain, but it’s going to be a sultry one later. Yesterday’s small but catchable waves look to be another notch smaller this morning. The swell’s gone around to the NE and although it’s about 1.5 metres, the average period is down to 7 seconds. This combo is producing mostly knee to waist high conditions, with the odd slightly bigger one where Dee Why’s concerned.
The outlook for this weekend has soured since yesterday when the models were projecting a useful little pulse for the weekend in Sydney. But this morning’s calculations are pointing toward energy levels over the next few days to be not dissimilar to what’s out there right now. It should be coming from the east, so at least that means most places will have a little something to work with. Figure knee to waist with the odd chest high set this morning and again tomorrow and Friday.
Have yourself a great day!

The trough will become slow moving on Friday and weaken on Saturday. North to northeast airstream will dominate during the weekend on the western flank of a slow moving high in the Tasman Sea.
