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

A few soft little set waves to be found this morning

Hello Friends,

Early risers scored some weakish waist-plus wave faces at the better exposures this morning. Swell at sea was a metre at 8 seconds from the NE and wind before 0800 was coming lightly from the north under hazy grey skies. The Bureau tells us that the wind will pick up into the 15-25kt range and swing to the SW later this morning. First tide of the day was a moderate 1.4m high at 0715. It’ll be back to low at 1300. Beachwatch is reporting mostly clean conditions along the Northern Beaches with a temperature of 18.

From the look of the swell models this morning, we’re in for similar conditions again tomorrow and then a week of more or less the same, give or take a little – as the Goat might say.

Have a great Saturday everyone!
