It’s still pumping at south spots

Busy early

Nice one

Point still sputtery

Hello Friends,

Another day of good waves at south swell spots. It’s 2.5 metres and coming from the SSE at a juicy 10 seconds apart. This is a near perfect size for Sydney’s beaches. Throw in a westerly of 10 kts, and you have every reason to bend the schedule around for a wave.

Tides: Low @0955 H@1625

The Bureau says the swell has peaked and will decline this afternoon (but not go flat). However, looking at the MHL data from down the coast, I don’t see any evidence of a drop in energy levels, so with any luck, the juice will continue all day long.

Outlook is for waves again tomorrow and Wednesday, although indications are that the average size will drop below the current chest-shoulder height.

BTW, I’m working through a backlog of shooting from the weekend, and I plan to add more today if possible. For the record I shot at Dee Why beach in the morning, then shot Curly near midday on Saturday. On Sunday I shot Mona Vale mid-afternoon and then went back to Dee Why for the sunset sesh.

Go well with your day!
