Hello Friends,
The pictures tell the story surfers. Mostly cloudy skies with a steady 8-10 kts of SE wind chopping up the surface of a swell-free ocean. The MHL buoy was showing 1.3 m of 10-sec SSE swell, but there’s no hint of energy at Dee Why, however you might get a little mal-able dribble up toward Longy. A quick check of the local cams showed ankle to knee high at spots with optimal exposure. An easy day to give it a pass I’d say.
The Bureau’s modelling (and others too) is offering a little more hope for the coming week. On current reckoning we could see a gradual increase in energy levels from the NE from around midwekk onward. It’s not shaping to be amazing, but waist to chest high at NE magnets by Thr-Fri doesn’t seem wildly optimistic.
Have a great Sunday everyone and keep on smilin’!
