Hello Friends,

This morning started out with the mainly 8 second wind swell coming in from the SSE. In line with the swell modelling of the last few days, the Bureau tells us that it should turn more easterly by lunchtime. And while the average period is unimpressive this morning, there is also some very long period component (17 seconds) showing on the Sydney MHL buoy.

It’s a metre out at sea and from the look of the beach at Dee Why this morning, about that size on sets. I’ll keep an eye on things today, so maybe check back later to see if the east swell pulse has turned up. From the shape of the forecasts, this will be the best we can hope for until maybe next week. It’s looking from here as though the problem won’t be size, but a steady diet of southerlies from tomorrow through to the middle of next week.

Have yourself a great day!
