Hello Friends,
Blue skies and just a hint of breeze from the NW as of 0800. But, as the pictures indicate, there’s still no real swell energy to speak of at Dee Why. At 0600 the MHL buoy was showing a metre of 12-second stuff from 158°. Beachwatch is reporting 19C water temps and we’re currently heading toward a 1.57 m high tide at 1330. We should see a high of 23C as it stays sunny all day.
The micro conditions are set to continue through to around Thursday evening when southerly conditions should take over for Friday and Saturday. There may possibly be something in the protected corners, but at this stage the models are predicting periods under 10 seconds. With luck we’ll get a reasonable wind and swell combo Sunday morning with the potential for chest high sets at magnets.
Have a great day everyone!
