Hello Friends,
Tiny NE wind swell struggling against the 0800 high tide this morning and it’s just not happening at Dee Why. The numbers are pretty much like yesterday’s, that is about a metre of 8 second bump. The challenge will be to find something at a NE magnet spot. I think you’d be going very well to jag a waist high bomb set, so set the expect-o-meter accordingly!
Another day with rain in the forecast and toasty temps by this afternoon. Lots of incentive to get in the water but there may or may not be much to entertain you when you get there.
Outlook is pretty much the same as yesterday although the Goat is moderately sanguine about a possible improvement…
Have yourself a great Friday everybody!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system near New Zealand extends a ridge towards the Queensland coast, while a trough lies over western New South Wales and far eastern Victoria. These systems will move slowly during the next few days directing fresh to strong northeasterly winds along the northern half of the coast while a weak southerly change associated with the trough affects the south. The trough is expected to stall on the central part of the coast Friday and gradually weaken over the weekend. A more significant southerly change may affect the coast early next week.
