Hello Friends,
Fair amount of high cloud across the sky as Tuesday kicked off in Sydney. Along the beaches, wind was around 10 kts from the NW. Swell was coming from the SE at a metre but it was just 6 seconds apart, so I’d say the micro conditions at Dee Why will be replicated across the city’s beaches. Throw in a high tide at 0850 and it adds up to not much of anything in the way of surf prospects – for now.
The wind’s forecast to build up to 20-230 kts from the west later and at the same time the swell should come up from the south and get into the 2 metre range. Given the wind though, I’ll be pleasantly surprised if anything surfable gets in given the predicted strength of the offshores.
For the last week or so many of the forecast models have been calling for small to flat between now and the weekend and this morning it looks as though there’s no major change in the outlook. The consensus still seems to be for a significant swell event around Sunday and then for waves to stick around for a few days.
Have yourself a top old Tuesday everyone and go well with your plans!
