Hello Friends,
Looks like little waves this morning in the knee to waist and a bit range at Dee Why. There were a few longboarders hanging out at the point where they were jagging the very occasional soft looking slider. Up the beach it was similarly low key but maybe a touch bigger on the biggest ones. The line looks pretty long and we have an incoming tide so it didn’t look too peaky.
Wind was out of the NNW at 10-15 kts. If anything, it should pick up as the morning goes along. The MHL buoy was detecting 1.25m of SE at about 11 sec. That’s down from yesterday’s 2 metres. High tide is a 1.47m at 1040.
As for the outlook, well, may I refer you to the Wisdom of the Goat.
Have a great Friday and hope you find a little something in the wave department.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system lies over the Tasman Sea to the northeast of NSW, while a cold front approaches from the west. This pattern is generating increasing north to northwesterly winds in most coastal areas, which will shift west to southwesterly during today as the front crosses the region. Following this, a new high will drift across New South Wales on the weekend, reaching the Tasman Sea at the start of the new week.
