Hello Friends,
Hope you got in the water yesterday because even that weak dribble is no more. There’s about half a metre of 9 second NE wind swell showing on the MHL directional spectra chart, but down at Dee Why beach this morning, half a metre of face would be a bomb.
It is a beautiful if very chilly day in Sydney. High isn’t expected to exceed 16 and the wind will be 20-25 kts from the westerly quarters, so it’ll cut right through ya if you’re not rugged up.
There is no real prospect I can see of waves anywhere in our region today. In fact, the it’s looking as though tomorrow and most of Tuesday will also be chilly and tiny. The swell models are currently pointing toward an increase late Tuesday with prospects of some size to play with mid-week. So not hopelessly bleak on the outlook.
Have yourself a top old Sunday everyone!
