"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Catchables to be had


Hello Friends,

Get in early at your fave south spot or miss out seems to be the message from the forecasts today. An incoming tide, light wind, and a couple metres of 9 second period south swell were combining to produce waist to chest plus waves along the beach at Dee Why. There doesn’t seem to be enough east in the mix to coax the point into life though. The wind is due to go around to the south soon and then continue that way all day. At the same time the swell is expected to gradually fade.

The models have turned dour again this morning. Yesterday they all seemed to be pointing at a steady if unspectacular wave supply through the weekend and into next week. But when the super computers cast the runes last night, it was looking like back to the tiny conditions of the last few weeks.

Have yourself a great Thursday!

TIDES: L @0600, H @1310

Weather Situation
A high pressure system near Adelaide extends a ridge into New South Wales, directing a dry southeast to westerly airstream along the coast. This high will remain the dominant synoptic feature in the region as it drifts eastwards over the next few days. By Friday it is expected to be over the Tasman Sea, bringing warmer northerly winds across the state. The next trough is forecast to bring a southerly change to the southern and central coasts later on the weekend.
