Hello Friends,
Out at sea it’s around 2 metres from the SSE at 8 seconds apart. Inshore at Dee Why, just after the 0600 low tide, it looked to be knee to maybe the odd waist high at the point and beach. Skies were largely overcast. Wind was light SSW but is set to be 20-25 kts southerly out at sea before long – and then SE later.
Swell energy’s set to fade a little as the day goes along, so getting in early while there’s a tidal push and the wind’s not into it yet is definitely the plan.
Have a great day one and all!
Weather Situation
A high south of the Bight extends a ridge of high pressure through Bass Strait and along the New South Wales coast. The high is expected to move east, reaching the southern Tasman Sea by Wednesday where it will remain through to the weekend. This pattern will maintain a southeast to northeasterly airstream along the coast.
