Hello Friends,
It may be 2 m at 10 seconds from the south out at sea, but as far as Dee Why’s concerned, it’s just about flat. The only person I could see in the 18C water from the RealSurf crows nest was somebody having fun on their electric foil board. A beautiful morning in every other respect – cool, but not cold, sunny skies and 8-10 kts of WNW breeze grooming the tiny swell.
Outlook remains for conditions to be micro through tomorrow morning, but for a little energy to start pulsing up Tuesday afternoon as it head toward a peak into the 1.5+ metre range along the beaches on Wednesday.
Keep your mask handy and stay safe everyone!
Weather Situation
A low pressure system centred to the east of Bass Strait will weaken today, while a high will move into New South Wales from the west. By Tuesday the high is expected to move north over the Coral Sea, as a new low pressure system develops south of the Bight. This system is forecast to bring a series of vigorous cold fronts across southeast Australia during the second half of the week, with windy conditions in most coastal areas.
