A few waves around

Hello Friends,

Looks as though we have a little ESE windswell this morning with the odd longer period set mixed in. Winds were light at 0700 and the outlook is for them to move around to the NE as we head toward noon. As the pic shows, there are at least occasional chest to shoulder high waves.

From the look of the latest forecast data, the swell energy will continue to fade toward a flat weekend. If you can get out this morning, I’d do it. That said, there should be waist high stuff through the week, so don’t feel too desperate!

Might get out and about for a look around if I can this morning. Naturally I’ll update if I do.

Go well with your day!

Hello Friends,

Went for a wave this morning. Started with a scan of the Collaroy-Narra stretch, but was not overly impressed, so wandered by Long Reef to see if anything was going on in the middle of the beach. There was… sorta… but not seeing anything terribly compelling, I carried on southward. To my surprise the point looked about the most interesting option.

It was a mixed bag. Mostly too small for standups, but every now and then a set would turn up with a wave face into the chest to shoulder high range. In between though the best option was a bodyboard. Water’s so warm that it was just a treat being in. Still some evidence of the runoff, but not much. I didn’t see any blue bottles, but one guy I was chatting with said he got pranged on his arm and leg.

On the way home I stopped for a squizz at the Collaroy-Narra stretch from Edgecliff Blvd. Couple bods messing about near the marquesas and a bazillion in up at Northy. Wind was bumping it up at the south end as you can see from the pics, but up the other end I reckon it might not have been too much of a factor.

Swell has faded since this morning and that’s in line with expectations. Could be back to rather small and marginal tomorrow morning.

Go well!

Nothing the next couple of days.

Almost flat with east winds and rain Tuesday. Buoy data looks like something could be coming Wednesday but short term forecast are still unknown as to the casue, direction, etc. Stay posted.
