Hello Friends,
Not a skerrick, not a scrap, not a hope of a wave this morning at Dee Why. From the look of the MHL data for the NSW coast, it would seem that Sydney’s 0.75m of swell is bested in the flatness contest only by B Batemans Bay’s 0.5 m. Everywhere else is bigger and from around Coffs north, it actually looks quite interesting (2 m of ESE at 9 seconds).
Apart from the surf and a morning high tide, conditions would be perfect – if only we had swell.
The Bureau tells us we should have 1.5-2 metres of south swell, so the models predicting something arriving this afternoon may come to pass…
I’ll keep an eye on it and will update if there’s any significant change.
In the meantime, have a great day!
