Hello Friends,
I’m calling it 1 out of 10 at Dee Why. Maybe I shouldn’t be so harsh though. Just because it’s almost perfectly flat, doesn’t mean it’s such a bad day at the beach. You could go for a walk or a swim or get out the SUP and have a paddle around. Skies are mainly clear and there was a light NE sea breeze ruffling the sea.
The MHL buoy off Sydney is recording a faint NE wind swell of about a metre at just 5 seconds apart. It’ll be a real challenge to catch that stuff.
This morning’s forecast is calling for a day like yesterday and a tomorrow like today – ie tiny east swell and an afternoon NE’r.
Tide is high at 0835 and low at 1510.
Have a top old day!
Forecast issued at 4:10 am EDT on Wednesday 18 December 2013.

This high is expected to remain slow moving during the next few days, with northerly winds becoming increasingly dominant along coastal waters by the end of the week.
