Hello Friends,
At 0800 the MHL buoy off Dee Why was showing 1.5 metres of SSE swell at 10 seconds. Meanwhile, down at Eden the swell has well and truly arrived. Overnight it ramped from around 2 metres at 8 seconds, to 6 metres at 13 seconds from the SSE. The seas on top of that swell bring the combined height to nearly 10 metres! Open ocean transit time from Eden to Sydney for a 13 second period swell is around 11-12 hours. The swell started ramping down there from around 8pm yesterday… so… I’m thinking it’ll be getting bigger this morning.
Here’s the Bureau’s call:
