As of 0600 the MHL buoy was seeing 5 metres of SE swell at 13 seconds apart. Wind was westerly early with passing showers. It’s set to swing south this morning and the swell’s expected to ease back a little as the day goes on. Dee Why was cleaner looking but still maxed out.
I’ll grab a few pictures shortly and should have them up by around 0930.
