Hello Friends,
Another relatively windless start with waves but high tide fatness as well.
Manly was in the waist to chest high range, Curly was chest to head and a bit, and Dee Why was a bit bigger than Manly but not seeing the same size on bomb sets.
Out at sea, the swell was 1/5 metres at 8 seconds from 125°. Wind has gone around to the NNE at 9-10 kts. Tide hits a 1.87m high at 0940. Water is on 22C and today’s weather calls for a high of 30C with a 40% chance of a shower.
Outlook is for an extended period of south to east wind (see the Goat’s ruminations on the topic here), so this could be as clean as it gets for awhile…
Take care and go well!
