Hello Friends,

Another mainly grey skied morning for Monday at Dee Why. At 0640 there looked to be waist and a bit sets at the point and chest and a bit up the beach. Surface conditions are pretty choppy too. Wind was out of the ESE at 8-10 kts by 0700. According to the Bureau, it should gradually come around to the NE and get into the 15-20 kt range.
The Bureau posted a warning for deceptively powerful surf conditions for today and tomorrow and the MHL buoy was showing 2 metres of 9-10 second SE swell at 0500. Some of the models are projecting the periods to ramp up into the 14-16 sec range from the south.
Tide was low at 0700 and will be high again at 1315. Weather should be partly cloudy with a high of 24.
Looking ahead, it appears that we’ll be dealing with marginal to near, but with luck not-quite flat conditions. Just your usual serving of early summer ho-hum surf prospects really.
Have yourself a top old Monday everyone!
