Summer of gloom and onshores carries on

Hello Friends,

As foretold by the Bureau and the computer models, our two metre, 8 second period wind swell has around to the east. The wind has come around with it, but is coming more from the NE to ENE. It’s light now, but it should pick up a little during the middle part of the day before fading back again for the late.

The one person in the water at Dee Why point at 0800 was getting waist high little lumps along the rocks. It didn’t look a lot bigger along the beach. There are definitely better spots for this swell and wind direction.

Tide’s high at 0930 and low at 1600 and there’s a fair old swing of two metres between them.

We’re due for rain with a chance of thunder today.

This morning’s swell models are showing things continuing along at roughly this pace for the next couple days, before dipping a little on Saturday. On Sunday the long range forecasts are still calling for an uptick into the three metre range from the NE, but the wind is expected to be blasting along from the ENE-NE, so not much to get excited about there.

Have yourself a good one!

Weather Situation

A slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea is directing an easterly airstream onto the New South Wales coast. This high is expected to move over New Zealand on Thursday as a weak cold front passes to the south, bringing a brief southerly change. Another high is then forecast to move from the Bight to the Tasman Sea, restoring an onshore flow through the weekend, ahead of a more significant change expected Sunday or Monday.
