Hello Friends,
Kinda messy and very busy at Dee Why this morning, but there are sets into the head high range at the beach and the point. Quality’s not great and a high tide at 0810 wasn’t helping. Still, the wind was relatively light and from the SSW.
The wind’ll be coming around to the SE before long and the Bureau tells us they expect the swell to shift from the SE to the E and to drop back a bit.
So, as usual, the earlier you can hit it the better.
Outlook for the remainder of the week is pretty ho-hum. With luck we’ll have some sort of dribble most days, but right now it’s shaping to be in the knee to waist range at magnets and that’s about it.
Have yourself a great Sunday and keep on smilin’!
Weather Situation
A slow-moving pressure low system lies over the eastern Tasman Sea while a high pressure system southeast of the Bight extends a ridge northwards along the coast. These two systems are directing moderate to fresh south to southeasterly winds across the New South Wales coast for most of the forecast period, with winds in the south tending northeasterly briefly under the influence of high pressure systems.
