Hello Friends,
Our old friend Mr. SE’r is running around making a mess of things this morning. Yes, the size has picked up a little more overnight so that it’s now averaging around the 2 metre mark, but while there has been a slight improvement to the power setting, it’s still not quite 8 seconds. The SE swell direction is good for us, but of course when you have 15-20 kts of SE “breeze”, well, it’s pretty much beside the point. So, Dee Why, along with everywhere else is a write-off for all but the most desperate fans of onshore conditions.
We can’t expect much relief from the wind for at least the next three or four days. The Bureau says what we have now is pretty much what we’ll have for the rest of the day along the coast of NSW from about the ‘gong north to the border. And tomorrow things are set to go pretty nutty as a low develops and rapidly intensifies off the far north coast. It sounds pretty crazy with the swell pushing into the 3-4 metre range from the east as the winds step up to 25-35 kts from the E-SE (nowhere to get away from that). Oh, and heavy rain is expected as well. Should be quite a day.
The Goat posted his latest surf estimate yesterday and you can check it out by clicking here – or just going to the bottom of the main page.
Have yourself a top old day!
