Hello Friends,
Swell looks pretty similar to yesterday at this time, ie fat and around the waist to chest-ish range at the point. Couldn’t see anyone in the water along the beach, but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t at least the same as the point on the peaks.
Wind was lightly from the north as of 0700. The MHL’s new NSWaves site is showing 1.2 metres from the E by ESE at 11 seconds. Tide is high at 0830 and low again at 1500. By then the Bureau tells us to expect the wind to be out of the NE at 15-20 kts. MHL’s swell forecast is for tomorrow’s swell conditions to be similar to today’s. In fact, they’re projecting everything to continue more or less as it is through Thursday.
The long range modelling currently points to another week of what we’ve been experiencing – more or less, give or take a bit (hat tip to the Goat).
Have yourself a great Tuesday!
