Hello Friends,
Perfect conditions again, but still only a hint of swell. The 1.84 m high tide at 0715 was swamping Dee Why, but it hardly mattered as the swell was trickling in at maybe waist high on the big ones up the beach. Nothing was going on at the point. Wind was lightly from the NW and the MHL data from 0500 was showing a metre from the east at 8 seconds.
Should be a mostly sunny day, with a high of 26.
On the road shortly, so stay tuned for postcards!
Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system over New Zealand is maintaining a ridge towards New South Wales today, resulting in southeast to northeasterly winds in coastal areas. A cold front will skim across southeast Australia today, with an associated trough bringing a southerly change to waters south of about Newcastle. Behind this, a new high is expected to move over the Tasman Sea at the end of the week, and should remain dominant through the weekend. Another trough and southerly change are likely early in the new week.
