Hello Friends,
Wind was out of the NNE at around 10 kts around 0800 this morning. Swell was out of the east at around 1.5 metres with a period of about 9 seconds.
No one was visible in the water at Dee Why, although it did look as though there was enough size to at least be occasionally catchable – albeit pretty bumpy and junky. Semi-protected north corners again today I’d say. Especially as the wind is due to ramp up into the 20-25 kt range. Tide will be high at 1005 and low at 1620. Weather will be mainly cloudy.
Lots of wind in our future according to the forecast, but tomorrow the Bureau is showing northerlies in the morning. That could mean a reasonable wind and swell combo (although the tide will be full) for the morning sesh. Weather outlook is for rain developing with the odd thunderstorm. It won’t last much beyond noon though because that’s when the Bureau expects the southerly to arrive in Sydney. Thereafter it looks as though we’re in for lots of wind. There is some hope that protected corners might possibly have a little something because swell should be out of the east and on Sunday the period may stretch out to help the cause. But the wind forecast says we’ve got another week at least of onshores from one direction or another most of the time.
Have yourself a top old Wednesday!
Here’s a snap of Gardens from about 0815…
