Waves once more

Hello Friends,

Somewhat lumpy and junky looking this morning for the early, but with luck it will tidy up a little before the afternoon NE’r gets going. Sets at Dee Why were into the shoulder high range at both the point and the beachy. Swell is still out of the south at around the two metre mark with an average period in the 10 second range. Reasonable number of bods on it too, but not significantly more or less than the last couple days. A bit busier than usual maybe as we are running up to school holidays.

Basically, if you stick to yesterday’s script, you should find something similar again today. Outlook is for the quality to run down from about lunch time as the onshores roll in.

Outlook is for marginal conditions tomorrow as the wind gets into an e-se pattern, but the Bureau says there should still be a couple metres of south swell, so at least it shouldn’t be flat everywhere as well.

Longer term it seems as though we’re drifting toward small conditions by next Monday. However, between now and then, there should be something sloshing around for the keen.

Go well with your day!

Tides: H @0730, L @1325

A series of lows are passing through the southern Tasman, with associated cold fronts extending northwards towards the NSW coast. One of these will pass along the southern NSW coast later today, and is expected to reach the Sydney coast late evening. A persistent ridge of high pressure over NSW is gradually extending further eastwards and will bring easing winds and afternoon coastal sea breezes.
