Hello Friends,
Clean and offshore with sets in the shoulder to head plus range at the point, a bit bigger up the beach at Dee Why. Swell is out of the SE at a couple metres with the power setting on a healthy 11 seconds. Tide is low at 1145 and high again at 1820. Looks like the plan is to hit it asap because the wind call is for SE later.
Big shout out to all of you who made it along to the Surfrider Winter Solstice Jam. The joint was jumping! Such a good night and I think it’s gonna happen again for sure. Great to catch up with a few of you fine folk as well!
From the shape of this morning’s forecasts, we’re looking like having waves of some sort or another into the middle of next week.
Happy Winter Solstice!
Weather Situation
A low pressure system near New Zealand is moving very slowly east-southeast and a high pressure system south of Tasmania is extending a ridge across the western Tasman Sea and into the Coral Sea. The two systems are directing southerly winds along New South Coast. The ridge is expected to weaken during Friday and Saturday as the high moves further south and a low pressure trough deepens along the coast. A low pressure system is expected to develop just offshore on Sunday. At this stage the low is considered most likely to form off the central part of the coast or southern Mid North Coast though the forecast position is uncertain. The low may deepen further Sunday night and Monday and move only slowly to the north.
