Hello Friends,
You’ll want the SUP or a mal this morning to catch anything at Dee Why. Swell was showing 1.6 metres from the SSE but it was only 7 seconds apart, so wave faces were in the ankle to knee high range. Throw in heavy overcast, 8-12 kts of SSE wind and a peaking 1.7 m high tide at 0830 and, as the pictures show, you get pretty paltry conditions. Kudos to those keen enough to get in says I.
Outlook you say? Well may I refer you to the one and only Goat for your weekly dose of surf wisdom!
Have a great Friday everyone and catch you again tomorrow.
ps: have some time to help with a beach clean this morning? Harbord Diggers and friends are doing the right thing this morning at Freshwater from 0930 this morning.
Weather Situation
South to southeasterly winds will gradually turn northeasterly during Friday as a high pressure system moves over the southwestern Tasman Sea and extends a ridge to the northwest. Winds will freshen over the weekend ahead of a cold front approaching from the west, which will bring a vigorous southerly change to the southern half of the coast later on Sunday.
