Hello Friends,
Climbed up to the crows nest to see how we’re traveling this morning. If Dee Why’s a reasonable indicator, the answer is we’re not going all that well. Weather is nice but the lack of swell activity isn’t. I’m calling Dee Why 2/10.
We’re due for a cloudy and warm day and south change is set to come through later.
The MHL Sydney buoy is showing a metre of ENE windswell with a period of about 7 seconds.
Here’s the call from the Bureau:
Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Strong Wind Warning.
Thursday until midnight: Wind: N/NE 10/15 knots, reaching 15/20 knots at times this afternoon ahead of a S’ly change 20/30 knots late evening.Sea: 1 to 2 metres, rising to 2 to 3 metres behind the change.Swell: E’ly 1 to 1.5 metres. Isolated afternoon or evening thunderstorms.
Friday: Wind: S/SE 20/30 knots, easing 15/20 knots by the afternoon, 10/15 knots at night.Sea: 2 to 3 metres, abating to 1.5 to 2 metres.Swell: E/SE 1 to 1.5 metres.

Meanwhile, up at the Goldy, it’s looking much more interesting. Dig this snap from the WRL cam at Snapper:
and then there’s Dee Why…
