Saturday with waves

Hello Friends,

As of 0600 swell was SE at 10.5 seconds apart with an average height at sea of 3.1 metres. My Saturday morning pre-702 ABC surf report run-around revealed that there were few opportunities on the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch as we approached the high tide at 0735. The odd bodyboard cruncher at south Narrabeen maybe… Around at Dee Why to Longy, there was plenty of activity, but as the pictures show, once again the beach break at Dee Why was lined up and thumping but rarely makeable. The point was weirdly uncrowded as the day got started. I saw a couple of shoulder plus wave faces, so not sure what the story is there. Swell was getting into Longy in a big way, but again it was the usual pinball machine of surf possibilities on the inside. So, waves, definitely, quality… hmmm…
On the good side, the wind should be okay all day. It’ll be W-SW early then dropping back mid-day and coming back SW in the afternoon.

According to the Bureau’s swell modelling, we should see the energy levels fade back through the day but then pulse back up again tomorrow. And Monday looks pretty promising as well at this stage. Wind’ll be SW across the next 48 hours too. With luck there should be wave energy right through to Wednesday am. So whoohoo for that!

Have yourself a great Saturday and keep on smilin’!
