Chop In Harbour Heads

[paulg]

The forecast for sat is 3 metre southerly swell and 20 knots outside the harbour.

Wind approx 10 to 15 knots southerly in the harbour.

I plan to motor over to manly from rose bay,

Should I expect chop and swell when passing across the heads or will the mouth be secluded from the southerly swell ?

Thanks.

Where did you get 3m swell from?

Sea breeze is predicting 1.5m with a 10~15 knot southerly

(im a pretty new boatie , so cant really help about the heads, but 10~15 knots shouldn't be to bad)

Mate it may be a bit choppy but if you take it easy it should be right, just judg the conditions when you get there....the 3 metre swell wont make it into middle head so much so its really only the wind you have to worry about

it was ridiculous conditions to even fish LB at roseville today with the wind, as i found out.

Fished saturday, arvo.

There was a 1.0 approx metre swell as we went past the heads.

Not much of problem. Got into middle harbour pretty easily.

Would have been a different story if it was an eastily swell..

Thanks anyhow.
