A set tries to get the point going, but doesn't quite succeed.

0730 empty one at Dee Why

Warning Summary at issue time:
Gale Warning between Gabo Island and Broken Bay. Strong wind warning between Broken Bay and Smoky Cape. Strong Wind warning for Sydney Closed waters.

Hello Friends,

Looking pretty small at Dee Why this morning. Swell is currently out of the south at around the 1.5-2 metre mark, but the power setting is only about 7 seconds, so it’s likely to be a struggle to find much in the way of juice.

From the buoy data it appears that this is the case all up and down the east coast at the moment. And it looks likely to stay that way for Tuesday.

But tomorrow it all changes as Huey sends in the winds big time and on the way through boosts the swell considerably.

Gotta jam! Catchya later.

A high over the Bight is moving east, bringing southwest to southeast winds along the New South Wales coast today.
