Hello Friends,
After peaking at close to 3 metres yesterday, the swell’s back into the sub-2m range. It’s pretty much dead south too, so the surf options this morning will be relatively few and far between. Dee Why sort of has little things at the point (looks like mals are more the go) and the beach. But you’d be doing well to score anything much above waist high.
The Bureau’s calling for steadily increasing E to SE wind, so the relatively glassy conditions early don’t look likely to last. So get out there asap.
From the models it appears we’re in for a steady supply of generally easterly wind through the weekend. From my reading of the data, it also looks as though we should get some short period but rideable windswell from the SE at first before swinging more to the ENE by Saturday.

Synoptic Situation
A High is over the Coral Sea and another High is over the Bight. A trough between these systems lies over the northern New South Wales coast, and is expected to persist there until about Saturday. A small low is likely to form within this trough late Thursday or Friday morning, bringing strong east to southeast winds along parts of the northern coast to its south. The High in the Bight will move east of Bass Strait during Thursday, bringing northeast winds to southern parts of the coast.
