Hello Friends,
Swell has dropped a little since yesterday and at the same time the primary direction has come around to the east. As of 0500 the MHL buoy was recording 1.5 m of 10 second swell from 75° plus there was some component from the SSE. What that meant at Dee Why as of 0800 was knee to maybe waist on the bigger ones. Wind was coming lightly from the north and as with yesterday, it should be vaiable before going around to the south as it comes up into the 10-15 kt range. Tide is a 1.6m high at 0840 and then will be back to low at 1500.
Weather was partly cloudy early, but it’s expected to cloud over and there’s a 70% chance of a shower later as we head to a high of 24C. Water is down to 21C according to Beachwatch.
Tomorrow’s shaping to be SE and a possibility of showers. We should be back to sunny on the weekend.
The Goat will be gazing into the crystal ball soon, so as always I shall hang upon his every word as to our prospects for the coming week.
Go well with your Thursday!
