Hello Friends,
Swell’s dropped again as expected. Clearing(?) skies and 4-5kts of NW breeze early along with 2.6 m 9 second ESE residual swell as the day got started at a fairly busy Dee Why. Quality along the beach looks to be on the unpredictable side and kinda lumpy. Ocean is on 20C but unsurprisingly Beachwatch hoisted pollution likely warnings all up and down the beaches. I’d let the sun cook the surface water for a day or two before getting in. There can be 10 million viruses in a drop of seawater (most of them are harmless to humans though), and after a rain like we’ve had, they’re joined by lots of interesting bacteria from the run-off.
Hope to post a few more pics later, so check back…
Weather Situation
Winds and waves along the New South Wales coast are slowly easing as the low pressure system over the Tasman Sea slowly moves east and weakens. Following this, a weak trough is expected to slip south of the state during Wednesday and Thursday without significant impact, before a high pressure system moves over the state by the end of the week. The next significant cold front is expected on Sunday and Monday.
