Hello Friends,
Tiny but glassy little ESE peaks on offer at daybreak in Dee Why. Inconsistent ESE wind swell of about a metre out at sea but with an average period of only around 7 seconds. Biggest set wave I saw was the one in the picture. I’m calling it knee high plus.
As this morning’s red clouds fortell, rain is on the way. Sometime in the afternoon sayeth the Bureau. And tomorrow is looking pretty ordinary it has to be said. Strong NW wind in the morning, switching to gale force southerly in the afternoon. And there’ll be rain too. Lovely.
The southerly should move a touch closer to SW overnight and into Monday, but it’s due to be going pretty hard until midweek. However, the swell should ramp with all that wind, and it could be that places like Dee Why which go okay with a SW wind, will be good size from late Sunday through Monday and possibly into Tuesday morning.
Enjoy your Saturday one and remember, just stay happy.
Tide: L @0835, H @1455
