Southerly messiness

Hello Friends,

A southerly with short period south windswell is producing messy waist high dribble at Dee Why and I can only assume that most other spots along our coast are either similar or possibly worse. Wind’s about 20 kts and there’s a 60% chance of showers through the day, plus the forecast models (and the trend on the buoys off to the south of us) are showing a downward trend. Sadly, it all adds up to a pretty ordinary outlook for surfin’ in Sydney today.

Stay well – and go well – with your Friday one and all!

Tides: H @0715, L @1250

By Sunday the high will move southeast of Tasmania extending a ridge to New South Wales north coast and it is expected remain semi-stationary there until Tuesday.
