Hello Friends,
Fun but fairly fat little waist to chest plus sets showing up at spots that take east swell as the morning gets going. There were folks scattered along the beach at Dee Why and from about Marquesas north along the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch. Surface conditions were glassy around 080, but by the time we get to the high at 1015 or so, the NE’r will probably be getting started.
So, go early and take your fat wave equipment.
The wind will be into it this afternoon and going harder than yesterday, so surf options will contract to the north corners.
Outlook is for northerly winds early tomorrow ahead of a SE-SW change in the morning. Friday should see light winds inshore in the morning and we might start to see a few longer period forerunners of an expected east pulse. With luck, this pulse will then hang around through to Monday morning. Potentially it will be offshore on Saturday morning with solid east… fingers crossed!
Go well with your Wednesday!
Tides: H @1015 L @1620
Weather Situation
A slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge towards New South Wales, maintaining an east to northeasterly airstream along most of the coast. The high is expected to weaken today or two as a cold front approaches from the west. This system is forecast to bring a gusty southerly change to the southern New South Wales coast later today, weakening as it moves to the north during Thursday. Another, stronger southerly change is expected on the weekend.
