Hello Friends,
What a perfect Sunday morning. Light winds, smooth seas, sunny skies and a high of 23 in prospect. Sadly surfing options appear to be just about – but not quite – nil. There’s only a faint metre or so of ESE windswll lapping into Dee Why. At only 8 seconds apart, it was struggling to produce knee high wave faces up the beach at Dee Why. A high tide at 1030 isn’t helping either.
Outlook for tomorrow and Tuesday is not too interesting but from about Wednesday onward the models are showing some potential. And, in at least one case, there’s a prediction for quite a long period and large south pulse for overnight Friday into Saturday morning.
Don’t let the tininess put you off. Go for a paddle anyway and have yourself a top old Sunday!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system centred off the New South Wales coast is extending a ridge across the state. This high will be the dominant feature in the region today as it drifts eastwards, directing north to northeasterly winds along the coast. A cold front is expected to reach the state’s southwest late today, but is expected to decay as it progresses to the northeast during Monday. Another front will follow bringing a southerly change on Wednesday.
Forecast for Sunday until midnight
