Hello Friends,
Friday’s winding down, so thought I’d toss up another pic of the situation and offer a few thoughts…
During the day the swell has picked up out at sea, going from this morning’s 1 metre on average to over 2 metres. Swell is still dead south and the period is only up a touch to about 7 seconds. Hence the lack of anything surfable at Dee Why.
For some days now, the models have been calling for a low to develop off the east coast. The Bureau’s latest summary says the following:
A low presently developing off the central New South Wales coast will deepen rapidly overnight leading to strong to gale force south to southwest winds along the coast. The low will move further away towards the east during Saturday and winds are expected to gradually ease along the far southern New South Wales coast by late Saturday and along the central and northern coasts during Saturday night and early Sunday. A high will move over the state during Sunday and Monday resulting in lighter winds.
What this likely means for us is a rather messy, short period south windswell in the shoulder to head high plus range.
I’ll be up bright and early to do the 702 ABC surf report, so check in about 0730 if you’re interested!
Have yourself a great evening!
