Looking good this morning

Hello Friends,
Light offshores, around two metres of 9s south swell and sunny skies. What more could you want?
Sets at Dee Why are still occasionally getting into the shoulder high plus range but they’re getting further apart as the swell slowly weakens.
Get out there if you can and have some fun!
TIDES: H @0548 L @1125
Weather Situation
A high pressure system will remain over northeast New South Wales today, while a weakening trough and cold front move across the state’s south. This front will bring a brief wind change to the southern coast overnight, with another weak change expected on Wednesday night. A stronger frontal system is forecast to cross the coast on Friday, generating very windy conditions before moving to the Tasman Sea and deepening on Saturday. Conditions should ease during Sunday as the next high extends a ridge across New South Wales.
