Hello Friends,
My usual leisurely Sunday start and whadya know, there’s a shower pattering down outside as I write this, but the expected southerly wind hasn’t kicked in yet and the swell’s ticking over nicely down at the point.
At 0800 the swell was coming at us from the SE. It was 2 metres on average with an 11-second period. This was producing head high wave faces on the take-offs at both the point and along the beach at Dee Why.
Crowds were slightly below their usual Sunday proportions, but you won’t be Robinson Crusoe. Wind was WNW 7-9 kts but is due to become variable as the day goes along. Surface conditions have cleaned up from the lumpiness of yesterday and we’re headed toward a high tide at 1145. Ocean temp has cogged down another notch and is around the 19C mark.
Beachwatch has given the all-clear to most places, but they reckon Queensie and North Curly are still dodgy.
Swell is expected to weaken gradually over the next 24 hours, but at least some of the models are saying that tomorrow could still be pretty fun.
Have a great Sunday one and all!
