Hello Friends,
Near cloudless skies over Sydney as Tuesday got started. Swell has slipped down the power curve again overnight and as of 0600 the MHL buoy was showing 1.4 metres of 12-sec SE swell. It wasn’t doing much at Dee Why when I checked a little after 0700. There were a few bods at the point, but it appeared that you wanted a SUP to ensure a decent wave count. Very few people up the beach from what I could see – which would be like yesterday. Not sure what the deal is with the banks because usually swell conditions like these should be producing more than we’re seeing.
Tide was low at 0530 and will be back to high at 1145.
Wind should pick up and be 15-20 kts out of the north to NE later.
Outlook continues to be good for work and school obligations. If the models have it right, we’ll have lots of time for our non-surfing lives for the next week or so. The next pulse is penciled in for next Tuesday, although the projections are showing it being more SW at first – so maybe not much at first and then a day or two of south swell at around the levels we saw yesterday. Dead south magnets for Weds-Thr is my current tip.
Have yourself a top old Tuesday everyone!
