Hello Friends,
Pretty much nothin’ doin’ at Dee Why on a sunny and breezy Friday morning. Nobody in the water that I could see, but then given there’s only about half a metre of SSE wind swell lapping weakly in, that’s hardly surprising.
The weather is set to take a turn to the southerly quarters over the next 24 hours and as that happens, the foretold south pulse is expected to make itself felt. Saturday doesn’t look too interesting, but Sunday-Monday is shaping up pretty well… especially Monday.
So a rest day or two and then…
Have yourself a terrific Friday one and all!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the western Tasman Sea is moving slowly north and weakening and a southerly change change associated with a cold front crossing the southern Tasman Sea is moving along New South Wales, expected to extend to the north coast later this evening. Another, stronger southerly change associated with a low pressure system moving over the southwestern Tasman Sea is expected to develop Saturday night or early Sunday.
