"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

One of the great days

Hello Friends,

I’m rating it at 9/10 for the early sesh at Dee Why this morning. Maybe 10/10.

As of 0600 the MHL Sydney buoy was registering 2.3 metres from the ESE at a touch under 15 seconds apart. Set wave faces – as the pictures show – are well overhead at Dee Why point. The beachy seemed unoccupied (gee, I wonder why). Tide was high at 0600, so it’ll be back to low at 1150.

Wind is offshore and set to stay that way. As of 0800 it was 10-15 kts from the WNW to NW, but the Bureau says it’ll be more westerly and 20-30 kts later.

According to the forecasts the swell will drop overnight and swing more to the SE. But, it should still be pretty reasonable for tomorrow morning at least.

I’m still on the sidelines, but I’ll go take pictures at the point this morning, so wave hi if you see me!

Have a great day everyone.

Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system near Tasmania is moving steadily east, with an associated cold front crossing New South Wales. This system is bringing vigorous winds to much of the coast, which should ease by Friday as the low moves further away and a high pressure ridge extends across from the west. This ridge will be short-lived, however, as another cold front is expected to cross the region during Saturday.
