Hello Friends,
Wind was straight south at 10-15 kts when I climbed aloft for this morning’s snap, but interestingly Dee Why didn’t look too blown out. As the picture shows, there were a few keen types in the water chasing the small waves coming off the 7-sec 2.4 metre dead south swell out at sea. Size along the beach seemed to be in the waist plus range. Tide was just off its 1.77 m high at 0920. There were a few spitty drops in the wind and the Bureau expects only occasional light showers.
Outlook is for the wind to push up later in the day and unfortunately surf prospects are not great according to the long range models. There should be some residual south bump tomorrow morning, but right now the rest of the week is looking pretty quiet unfortunately. The most optimistic prediction shows a little bump Thr-Fri, but we’re only talking waist to chest at this stage.
Have a top old Sunday everyone!
