Hello Friends,
10-15 kts of southerly with overcast skies as Sunday kicked off. Swell’s kicked back up after weakening yesterday afternoon and as of 0600 the MHL buoy was showing 2.8 metres of 10-sec SSE swell. Tide was high at 0745 and is heading to the low at 1410.
As the pictures show, at 0830 Dee Why was scrappy and in the waist to chest range at the point. Didn’t see anything of interest at the beach but there were people just up from Kiddies so presumably there’s something to chase.
The Bureau’s hoisted the ‘deceptively powerful surf conditions’ pennant, but I’d say anywhere big will also be blown out. Outlook is for the SE’r to swing east in the afternoon – blerggh.
Tomorrow’s supposed to be onshore again and the swell’s due to gradually fade – although the Bureau still has a surf warning for the morning.
Looking ahead it seems that we’re in for a so-so week. Right now I reckon Wednesday morning is most hopeful. If it works out we might see sunny, light offshores and knee to waist plus a SE magnets.
Have yourself a top old Sunday everyone!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system south of the Bight is moving east extending a ride to the northern Tasman Sea and directing northeasterly winds along the New South Wales coast. Southeasterly winds are expected along the southern half of the coast this morning as a low pressure trough crosses the coast. Winds will then turn back to the northeast ahead of the next trough which will bring a southerly change to most of the coast on Monday and Tuesday.
