Hello Friends,
Back on the coast after a brief sojourn in our nation’s capital. Back to grey skies as well, but, Huey is supplying more of what was on offer yesterday afternoon. The early risers at Dee Why were rewarded for their dedication with waves at both the point and along the beach. The Bureau says the wind is going to turn easterly by this afternoon and be blowing pretty hard, so those start of the day waves were the ones.
Swell is out of the SE at around the two metre mark and looks set to stay at about that intensity through the day and then to pick up a bit tomorrow. Given the shift in wind power settings though, I’d be expecting conditions to be less than attractive most places.
The latest forecast says we’re in for showers off and on today – and across the next week.
The low pressure system up north has apparently just delivered a waterspout or similar to Lennox Head. An early report on TV says our media monitor Shari, has hit the bakery and people are missing (!). Apparently the caravan park has been hit…
