Hello Friends,
What a difference a day makes!
Swell is SE at around 3 metres on average with a kicking 11-12 sec period. At Dee Why that is producing 2x overhead sets and even a few bigger ones on the bombs. Wind was out of the west only lightly as the day got started under brilliant blue skies. Looks like a classic winter day coming up. Wind is expected to swing SW soon and to get into the 20-30 kt range, so there are a few spots that will go off the available list soon. Plus we have a high tide at about 0920.
Get out and enjoy it if you can (unless you’re a beginner or otherwise not feeling super confident in big conditions) and wave hi if you see me out shooting.
I’ll try to update again later.
Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system over northern Tasman Sea is moving slowly to the south-southeast maintaining fresh to strong south to southwest winds along New South Wales coast. Winds are expected to ease by Sunday as the low moves near New Zealand and a high pressure ridge strengthens across the northern Tasman Sea.
