Sunday with little waves

Hello Friends,

Light NNE wind and sunny skies as Sunday got rolling. But better than that, the waves have picked up since yesterday morning. It’s not big or anything, but there’s 1.6 metres of 9-sec ENE swell so there should be a few burgery waist to maybe even chest plus waves at magnet spots.

There’s a big (1.84m) high tide at 0930 and at 0800 it was making things fat and full but, assuming the wind doesn’t beat it up too much, there could be some fun ones from late morning onward.

Dee Why at 0800 had the odd knee to waist plus thing at the point and similar offerings up the beach to at least No Mans.

Wind is expected to be breezy and onshore from the east to NE across the middle of the day, but the swell should hang in there and later it’s expected to go more to the north. Tomorrow is looking more hopeful again with light and variable wind in the morning and swell from the east to NE in the afternoon.

I’m headed off to help out at the Surfrider stand at Ocean Care Day in Manly later this morning. If you’re down that way, say hi. We’re doing a beach clean at 1030 and I’m lead to believe the ever sunny Barton Lynch will put in an appearance.

See ya around and have a great Sunday.

Weather Situation

A broad trough of low pressure lies between two highs centred near New Zealand and south of the Bight and a low pressure system may develop briefly off the south coast early Sunday. This low is expected to move to the south on Sunday with just a weak trough persisting on the southern coast.
