Hot and micro for Sunday

Hello Friends,

The Dee Why to Longy stretch is missing out on the metre or so of 7-sec NE wind bump lapping into our stretch of coast this morning. From what I could see at 0730 this morning, Dee Why was maybe knee high on the biggest ones. For such a hot and sunny Sunday morning, it’s not a good sign when I can’t see a single person in the water from the crows nest. Looking at the cams, there seem to be ankle to knee high bumps at spots with exposure to the NE. It’s gutless of course and the 1.5 m high tide at 1045 (right about when the wind should be NW) doesn’t suggest improving prospects.
Outlook for the week ahead is slightly hopeful for NE wind swell spots according to some of the models. Tomorrow for the early could be a possibility and then again later in the week when a more southerly regime could come into play. So not a hopeless outlook.
Have yourself a fine old Sunday!

Tiny, tiny, tiny
You’ve got it to yourself at No Mans Sunday morning

Weather Situation
A cold front is bringing a fairly weak southerly change to southern and central waters this morning, shifting westerly later in the day as another system approaches from the Bight. This next front will skim across the state’s southeast on Monday, bringing a more substantial southerly change to the coast. In the wake of this, a new high will drift across the region during Tuesday and Wednesday.
