After days of frantically scanning six different weather sites (which probably all get their information from the same source anyway) it's starting to look good.
Forecast is for a 1 metre SE swell, and light ESE winds during Saturday, freshening in the late afternoon & evening, before dropping off to calm overnight and possibly swinging round to the SW. They should swing SE again during Sunday morning and into the afternoon but I have most things crossed that I'll be finished by lunchtime.....
It's pointing towards a south to north swim, starting at Bundeena at midday and finishing at the northern end of Palm Beach. We're just waiting on confirmation about the currents. Our expert weather guru says that the warm water temperature (a crazy 24 degrees at the moment, not that I'm complaining) suggests a strong southbound current, in which case we may swap.
We'll make that call in the next couple of days.
I was so nervous about whether we were going to get to swim at all, and it feels fantastic that we're going to start. Finishing is another matter entirely, and a whole new set of nerves.....
