Hello Friends,
Not much going on at Dee Why this morning. Hardly surprising given that we’ve only got about a metre of 5 second period ESE wind swell. There really aren’t any waves to speak of. I suppose at a really exposed spot, you might pick up a knee high bomb set every now and then. Wind is out of the easterly quarters today so, on top of everything else, it’s going to be onshore. Lovely.
Ah well, I suppose it makes the inevitable return of waves all the sweeter.
As of this morning, it looks as though we’re facing at least a week of these conditions. Should free up plenty of time for holiday obligations.
Have yourself a chilled Thursday one and all!

Weather Situation
A low pressure trough lies over northeastern New South Wales, while a high pressure ridge extends across the south and west of the state. A weak trough is expected to develop off the southern coast today as a cold front passes to the south. The pattern is expected to change little during the next few days, until the ridge strengthens and pushes through to the northeast later on the weekend.
