Hello Friends,
Looking tasty for the early this morning. Swell is still rolling along at around the 2.5 metre mark from the S by SSE. It was about 11 seconds apart on average and that meant a few overhead sets in the mix for the good size Sunday crew at Dee Why. The drop in size since yesterday should mean there are a few more options around the place this morning.
Weather is set to be fairly dull, but the winds should remain light all day but getting around to onshore by lunch and while the swell is fading, I’m confident it’ll still be solid by late this afternoon.
Outlook is for it to be quite a bit smaller tomorrow morning, but with luck it’ll still be big enough to catch the odd fun one.

Weather Situation from the BoM
A strong slow-moving high pressure system southwest of the Bight extends a ridge to the northern Tasman Sea and a deep low lies south of New Zealand. The two systems are generating a vigorous southwesterly airstream and moderate to heavy swell across the southern Tasman Sea. Winds will gradually ease and swell will gradually decrease during today as the low moves further south and the ridge strengthens over the Tasman Sea.
Forecast for Sunday until midnightWinds: Southeast to southwesterly 5 to 10 knots tending northeast to northwesterly during the morning then tending northeast to southeasterly around midday. Seas: Below 1 metre. Swell: Southerly 1.5 to 3 metres, breaking dangerously close inshore at first.
Forecast for MondayWinds: Southeasterly 5 to 15 knots. Seas: Below 1 metre. Swell: Southerly 1.5 metres.
Forecast for TuesdayWinds: Northwest to southwesterly 5 to 10 knots tending southeast to southwesterly up to 20 knots during the afternoon. Seas: Below 1 metre increasing up to 1.5 metres during the afternoon. Swell: Southerly 1.5 metres.
