Hello Friends,
Sunny skies, light westerly wind and a metre or so of 10-second south swell this morning at Dee Why. Looked nice and clean with okay consistency along the beach, where waves were mostly around the waist high mark. Really didn’t seem to be anything showing at the point, although I’d guess that if you were prepared to wait 20-30 minutes between waves, you might get something out there.
The Bureau tells us that the wind will swing to the south and get up to 10-15 kts. Early risers had a rising tide to contend with, but since it’ll be high at 1050, the impact wasn’t too bad at first. Low will be along at 1700.
From the look of this morning’s forecasts, today and tomorrow should have energy at south spots. It doesn’t look spectacular in terms of size, but places with good exposure should see waist to chest with the odd plus.
Have yourself a great Thursday everyone!
Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system south of the Bight is extending a ridge across Victoria and directing a generally southerly airstream along the New South Wales coast. This high will slowly shift to the Tasman Sea over the next few days, with northerly winds developing on the weekend as a trough approaches from the west.
