Hello Friends,
Lightly offshore with a small and messy NE wind swell this morning for the northern beaches. There were junky waist high plus things flopping over at Dee Why. They were looking a bit better at Northy, but the crowd factor was an issue. Sunny skies and little waves; could be worse!
Average swell height at sea is around the metre mark and the period is around 7 seconds.
Tide was low at 0820 and will hit a high at 1450 or so.
The wind is expected to swing NE and ramp up into a pretty standard late spring onshore of 10-20kts this afternoon. So, if you were able to winkle something out in your favourite north corner yesterday, I’d say you’ll be in with a chance for a repeat performance.
Have yourself a great Friday.
