Hello Friends,
Gloomy grey skies and the odd shower as Thursday got underway along the beaches. Swell energy levels have cogged down significantly since yesterday, but conditions are generally much cleaner too. People at the point and along the beach were getting waist to maybe shoulder high set waves when I checked for the first time at 0745.
At report writing time the wind was 6-7 kts from the WSW. Tide was dropping to a 0.47 m low at 0900. The 1.5 m high happens at 1520. Beachwatch ways the water should be much better today.
MHL’s Sydney buoy was showing 2.3 metres of 10-sec SSE (156°) swell. Beachwatch says water temp is 19C.
Outlook you ask? Well the Goat’s your man!
Go well with your day and keep on smilin’!
