"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Small but not flat

Hello Friends,

Swell has perked overnight and south exposures were seeing chest high sets around 0800. Looks like waves to be had if you’re free…

Very quiet at Collaroy

Out at sea the buoys were seeing 2 metres at 10 seconds from 166° (south). First tide of the day is a high at 0930. The low’s at 1500. It should be a partly cloudy day with a high of 18C along the coast. Ocean temp is sitting on 18C.

Outlook is according to Wavewatch and the ECM models is for the swell to peak today (might come up a touch more) and then fade away tomorrow to be very small through the weekend. The long range models are still showing a bump into the 3 metre range with strong wind from the south quarters from late Monday through Wednesday… as always, we shall see.

Go well and mask up when you’re inside!
