Hello Friends,
2.4 metres of 8 second south swell rolling into Dee Why this morning. The point was showing a soft chest high set every now and then. Further up the beach it looked to be similar size but not quite as clean. The Bureau says we can expect the swell to build across the day. The MHL Eden buoy is at 4.6 metres at 10 seconds from the SSE…
Tide’s low as I write this just before 0900 and will be back to high at 1520. By then the wind is predicted to have been coming from the south since about lunch time.
The takeaway? Go now, because this afternoon’s surf options will be limited to very protected south corners.
Tomorrow morning is really looking interesting for experienced and fit surfers. Swell’s projected to be 3-4 metres south at 11-13s so we’re talking solidly overhead at the magnets. The energy should still be going on Tuesday too.
Have fun and take care!
Weather Situation
A vigorous southerly change associated with a cold front with a low to the south crossing the Tasman Sea is moving along the New South Wales north coast, with a secondary surge bringing gales to parts of the coast today. Winds will gradually ease during Monday and turn northerly on Tuesday as a high pressure system moves over the Tasman Sea extending a ridge to the north.
