Hello Friends,
Another smoky, hazy and tiny morning along the northern beaches. The little 1 metre NE windswell is sputtering along at about 7 seconds apart, so it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll find much above the knee to waist high range. Wind is set to pick up and swing offshore, so I’d expect that to further diminish our surf prospects.
There is some hope that we might see a small south pulse tomorrow. If it gets into the waist to chest high range at exposed spots, I’d be very stoked because this morning’s wind forecast is for offshores (briefly) around lunchtime on Wednesday.
Long range outlook according to this morning’s WAM data remains pretty dire it has to be said. There seems to be some hope of a slight improvement early next week, so here’s hoping…
Have yourself a top old Tuesday!
TIDES: L @0640, H @1315
