Almost but not quite flat
Hello Friends,
Hoped to see some swell this morning after seeing the Bureau’s call last night, but it’s still about the same as last night – ie ankle to knee with the odd plus at magnets. The MHL buoy was showing 0.8 meters from 152° at 16 seconds. There’s a 1.4 metre high at 0925 and then we’re back to low at 1505. The Eden buoy was showing 1.18 m at 15 seconds as of 0500, so maybe the forecast of a small increase will come true for us later. However, there’s nothing in the numbers to give great hope for a significant improvement.
Right now it looks as though we’ll be cooling our heels until late next week as none of the models are showing significant swell energy until around Thursday when it’s possible that we’ll get an energetic south pulse…
Have a great Saturday everyone!
All’s quiet at Northy
Patterns in the sand but no surf to speak of at Narrabeen

A few hundred people putting up tray tables and fastening seatbelts for arrival

Nothing doing at Butterbox
Good morning Saturday
