Hello Friends,
Just ticking over, but we have another glassy start to the day with occasional little waves getting into the knee to waist range at Dee Why. Main swell energy is out of the SSE again, but wave direction is more easterly inshore with wave heights in the metre range thanks to the 9-sec period. Tide was low at 0545 and will hit high at noon.
We’re looking at a high around 28 and the wind should gradually come up from the NE at 10-15 kts by the time we hit high tide. Wave energy should hang in there at around the current intensity today.
As for tomorrow and beyond, I am, as usual, in accord with the Goat.
Have a top old Friday and stay happy!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the central Tasman Sea extends a ridge to the north coast of New South Wales coast. For the next few days, the ridge will maintain east to southeasterly winds along the north coast, tending northeasterly along the central and south coast. Winds are expected to strengthen over the far south coast on Saturday, ahead of a southerly change that will move up the southern and central coasts on Sunday. The change is expected to stall around the mid north coast on Monday, with winds tending northeasterly along the north coast and southerly along the remainder.
