Hello Friends,
Nor’easter will be getting into it soon, but before 0800 conditions were clean and the combo NE+S swell was lighting up the beachies from Dee Why to Northy (and north and south of there obviously!). Sets were into the head and a bit range on the bombs, but it was a consistent chest high for the most part. Tide was coming off the 1.59m high at 0645. By the time it’s back to low at 1340, the wind will have hacked most places to pieces. Out at sea the main energy was coming from 116° at 2 metres with a period just shy of 10 seconds. Water’s on 23C according to Beachwatch, who also warns that pollution’s likely along the Manly stretch and possible at North Curly and North Narrabeen lagoon entrances.
Outlook you ask? Well, the Mighty Goat has pronounced upon our prospects.
Stay safe, wear the N95 around others and have a good one!
