Hello Friends,
Glassy and micro this morning at Dee Why. Given the swell settings are showing about a metre of 8 second period south windswell, I’d say it’s not going to be much bigger anywhere else. Well, unless you fancy a trip to the cold waters of western Vicco… (if you’re down that way and want to send in a guest report and pic, I’ll publish it…)
This morning’s forecast for Sydney coastal waters is calling for 20-25 kts of NE wind after lunch. So, there might possibly be some burgery little windswell action at the usual spots toward dark. If the wind keeps pushing along in the early evening hours, there just might be a little something for the early risers.
Happily, this morning’s run of the WAMs is finally showing something hopeful shaping up for the mornings on Saturday, Sunday and Monday and maybe even Tuesday. We aren’t talking big or anything, particularly early in the sequence, but if the forecasts are right, there could be waist to chest on Saturday morning, waist to shoulder on Sunday and maybe chest to head high on Monday. That’s the good news. The not so hot news is that models say the wind will generally be out of the SE, so it could be a case of get in early or miss out…
Have yourself a top old Thursday!
