Hello Friends,
Tide was low at 0450 and is now coming into the high at 1105. Not that it matters. It was too small to attract any surfers to Dee Why that I could see. The MHL buoy was showing a metre of 8-sec SSE bump at 0600, so you might possibly get a knee high wobbler at a south magnet but you”ll need to be patient and have the appropriate equipment.
Outlook, according to most of the models, is for the swell to ramp up significantly late Wednesday, early Thursday. The prospect is currently for around head high (with plusses) at SSE spots early but then they predict it’ll fade to chest to maybe shoulder and hold around that level through Friday. Wind could be briskly SW across Thursday but a bit lighter Friday morning.
Have yourself a great Monday one and all!
