Hello Friends,
We still have a few 13-second period sets coming in from the SE at pretty close to the same swell height (1.7 m) as yesterday. But that said, it definitely looked smaller as I drove along the beaches this morning. A light WNW wind was texturing the surface at Dee Why when I stopped to grab the pics and tide was bottoming out at 0830. It’s coming in now and will be back to the 1.5 m high at 1515. Weather is set to stay sunny all day as we head to a high of 20. The ocean is clean and 18.
The good news is that right now it looks like we should have only slightly smaller conditions tomorrow morning. Not sure what the Goat’ll make of it when he drops his forecast later today, but my hunch is we’re probably in for a pretty quiet start to next week…
Go well everyone!
