"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Wind affected but swell hitting Dee Why still

Only have time to put up a few pics… conditions look scrappy, less consistent but with solid sets still in the mix. I’d call it waist to chest with the odd overhead wave face at the point and similar up the beach.

Set showing some potential at 0705

 

Reasonable numbers in the water by 0700

 

Scrappy looking up the beach at 0700

Weather Situation

A strong high pressure system over the Bight extends a ridge to the northern Tasman Sea and is slowly moving east, while an intense low pressure system lies over the far southern Tasman Sea, generating a large southerly swell onto the New South Wales coast. Southwest to southeasterly winds along the New South Wales coast are expected to steadily turn east to northeasterly during the weekend as the high moves over the southern Tasman Sea and extends a ridge along the coast.
