Hello Friends,
Light SW breeze barely stirring the surface at Dee Why as of 0700 this morning. Wave heights looked to be in the chest high range on sets along the beach and around waist at the point. At 0400 the MHL buoy was shwoing 1.5 metres of 10-sec from the south (164°). Tide bottomed out at 0600 and is currently coming into a 1.6 metres at 1220.
We’re heading to a high of 28C along the coast and winds should gradually pick up and swing around to the NE at 15-20 kts. Beachwatch is reporting water temp of 20C,
As always the Goat has rolled out a fresh forecast for the week ahead and I commend it to you.
Have a top old Friday everyone and stay happy!
Weather Situation
A weakening high pressure system near New Zealand extends a ridge towards northeast New South Wales, while a decaying trough lies over central waters. A new high, currently west of Bass Strait, will move to the Tasman Sea during Friday, re-establishing a generally northerly flow over New South Wales waters. Another trough looks set to affect southern parts of the coast later Saturday or Sunday.
