Hello Friends,
As of 0600 the MHL buoy was showing less than a metre of 10-sec south swell. An hour later at North Narrabeen it looked to be around the knee high mark and quite inconsistent for the handful of keen folk in the water. Around at the Long Reef to Dee Why stretch everybody was scattered along the little peaks north from about the Pole to the lifeguard hut. Again, waves were infrequent and struggling to make the waist high mark. Lots of folk in the water too.
Tide is running into the 1.5m high at 1125. Wind was light NW and should stay out of the westerly quarters all day. Swell prospects don’t look too red hot for the rest of the weekend. It might possibly come up a touch tomorrow, but only a touch. The week ahead is shaping to be pretty quiet as well – according to the models.
So enjoy what we have and have a great Saturday!
Weather Situation
A cold front is currently moving through the New South Wales coast, causing north to northwesterly winds to shift fresh to strong southwesterly in its wake. By mid-morning today, the eastward-moving front will have cleared the coast as a high pressure system moves over inland New South Wales coast, causing winds to ease. The high is expected to be centred over the northwestern Tasman Sea by the end of the weekend.
