Get up here - it's pumping.

Out at Cronulla today...the swell was starting to come up, obviously thanks to what is happening up north. Areas exposed to north swells will benefit..could reach down towards the Gong and beyond....

down at Manly at the moment, massive waves, bit to much for me and the longboard...

G'day,

For NSW waves see -

Manly Hydraulics Laboratory


For Queensland waves see -

Wave Monitoring - EPA/QPWS

Both sites give the significant wave height (Hs) which is the average height of the highest one third of the waves. A single maximum height wave can be twice as high as Hs .... and will get bigger as they come to shore

Cheers,

Grant

I'd be going to the pub instead. A mate from up Forster way called and said the surf today was huge and it is heading down that way. By tomorrow it would be a brave man that would go body-bogging in that.

Then again you may be a thrill seeker and like having your head rammed into a sandy bottom
