Hello Friends,
Pretty puny looking at Dee Why beach this morning. A few people in the water but I’d say it was as much because of the mild temps and sunny skies as it is about any surf prospects. Yesterday afternoon there were some quite tasty sets to be had up at Long Reef. At that stage we were still a few sets with a 10 sec period and average power setting was around the 9sec mark. Now it’s averaging 8 seconds and it’s pretty much coming from the east at about 1.5 metres. Not the ideal direction for either the south or north ends of the Dee Why to Longy stretch.
Wind is currently out of the NE at around 10 kts and it’s set to pick up to 20-25 kts this afternoon. That could push up something worth the effort at the semi-protected north corners we all get to know so well during summer.
Outlook for the week ahead is still looking pretty marginal for Sydney folk. At this stage the various models are all playing similar riffs on a theme of bugger all. About the most hopeful sign is for a little bit of windswell on Tuesday. Then it would seem we’ll have to wait until next weekend when a south change might come through.
I’m going to wander off to see if I can find anything of interest on the cams… I’ll report back if I turn up something. In the meantime, go well!
