Hello Friends,
Sunny skies over Sydney this morning and around 10-15 kts of WSW wind fanning a waist to chest plus south swell. It’s about 2 metres out at sea and was 10 seconds apart as of 0600. There were a few bods in the water at Dee Why point chasing what looked to be waist to waist plus sets. Up the beach toward No Mans it was bigger looking and I’d expect optimally aligned stretches to be into the shoulder high range on the sets. Tide’s dropping to the low at 1030. The Bureau’s modelling is showing the swell fading rapidly across the day, so the plan is to hit it ASAP if you can.
Outlook is pretty ordinary for the next few days, but there does seem to be a small hope for the wave energy to come up again on late Wednesday-Thursday and possible to produce some knee to waist waves at south spots. I would add that this prospect isn’t showing across all the models, so your mileage may vary.
