Hello Friends,
8-10 kts of ENE wind texturing the ocean up along the Dee Why stretch by 0730 this morning. Skies were grey but smoke from the fires seems to be down a bit, but there is a smoke alert for the Sydney region today. As the pictures show, there was some junky knee to waist-ish dribble washing into the point and beach. At 0500 the MHL Sydney buoy was seeing 2 metres of 10 second bump from 162°. Tide was a 1.49m high at 0630 and is currently dropping to the low at 1245. Beachwatch says the water temp has clicked up to 21C.
So not the greatest morning for a surf, but if you’re really keen there are choppy and fairly weak little bumps to mess about with.
This morning’s ECM and Wavewatch models are both continuing to project a weak of marginal to near flat and generally messy conditions coming up for us thanks to short periods and low swell heights. Hope they’re wrong!
Go well with your Sunday everyone.
