Hello Friends,
Have something else to do today? Good. The wave situation is dire at Dee Why. I couldn’t see anything above the knee high mark- if that. Tide was high at 0705, so that didn’t help, but the real problem is the less than a metre of 6 sec east wind bump out at sea.
Outlook is for the very small to just barely catchable conditions to persist through Saturday. Some of the swell models are showing a moderate south pulse for Sunday-Monday. Those same models are also predicting SE wind with it, so I’m currently only cautiously optimistic.
Have yourself a top old Tuesday everyone and keep on smilin’!
Weather Situation
A slow-moving high pressure system near New Zealand extends a ridge to the northwest and is directing north to northeasterly winds across northern and central New South Wales waters. A low pressure trough across central and southern Australia and extending across southern coastal waters is generating southeasterly winds along the south coast. As this trough shifts north during Tuesday afternoon it will bring a temporary southerly change along the southern and central coast before a stronger southerly change is anticipated along the coast on Wednesday and Thursday associated with a cold front slipping south of the state.
