Hello Friends,
Pleasant looking morning down at Dee Why when I first checked at 0815. Swell is out of the SE at about 10 seconds apart with an average height at sea of around 1.5 metres. This was translating into waist to chest on the rideable ones at Dee Why. I reckon it might be a bit bigger around at the better exposed Curly. Wind was not a factor for the morning crew and skies were bright under large patches of mid-level cloud. Wind is set to stay light, but to become onshore and pick up into the 10-15kt range from the NE later. Tide is now headed to the next low at just before 1300.
I’m off to the Surfrider Foundation stall at Manly’s beachfront Ocean Care Day late this morning, so I reckon I’ll chuck the board in just on the off chance.
The week ahead looks only moderately hopeful surfwise at this stage. Oh well, it is early summer after all. Late week looks about the best hope for some actual surf, but we shall see…
Have yourself a great Sunday and keep on smilin’!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system near Tasmania will move gradually east across the Tasman Sea today, while maintaining a ridge into New South Wales and directing southeast to northeasterly winds along the coast. The high will remain the dominant synoptic feature until mid-week, when the next low pressure trough is forecast to approach from the west. This trough is forecast to bring a southerly change to most coastal districts during Thursday.
