Hello Friends,
Just about dead flat at Dee Why on Sunday morning, but the Bureau tells us the swell should bump up around midday as a new pulse starts to make itself felt. Around the time the swell starts to perk, the wind should be around to the SW at 15-20 kts. Tide hits high at 1040, so it’ll be on the run-out to the 1615 low. It should be sunny but noticeably cooler than yesterday as we head to a high of 19C. Water is still on 21C.
As of 0945 the swell off Sydney was a touch under a metre from the SE at 13+ seconds. So about the same size as yesterday but with a much better period. Eden buoy is currently showing 1.8 m SE at 12 seconds.
Looks as though we should have small but surfable conditions from late today through to Tuesday afternoon and beyond that looks slightly hopeful as well.
Take it easy and have a grand day all of you Mums out there!
By Order of the Federal Government, our beaches are open for exercise only – surfing, swimming, running and walking. Beaches will be closed due to unsafe conditions and or mass gatherings. All pools are closed at this time.
Please see some commonly asked questions about the beach closures.
If people are sunbaking or gathering on the beach, they will be asked to move along by our lifeguards, rangers or the police.
Due to the risk of Coronavirus and acting on direction of NSW and Federal Governments, Council has closed many public areas. View the latest updates on the evolving situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19).
In addition, it is against the law to gather with more than two people in public, except:
- for members of the same household
- where the gathering is essential for work or education
- If you go out, stay 1.5 metres away from other people at all times.
The rules are also now enforceable and Police are issuing fines of $1000 for individuals and $5000 for companies. These are difficult circumstances and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
Weather Situation
A cold front which brought a southwesterly change to southern and central parts of the New South Wales coast yesterday will clear the northern coast this morning. Later today, coastal winds will turn more southerly and ease as a new high pressure system extends a ridge across the state from the west. This high is expected to reach the Tasman Sea by Tuesday, before another cold front crosses southeast Australia mid-week.
