Hello Friends,
A 1.59m high tide at 0745 was swamping a little 1.3 m 9-second SE swell, but there definitely seems to be the prospect of the odd rideable one when the knee-plus to waist-ish high sets turn up. Dee Why was attracting a few folks to the beach break options, but the point hadn’t drawn any takers when I grabbed the snaps. Water’s on 18C and it should be mostly sunny with a high around 27C.
Not sure what the Goat’s going to see in the entrails, but it looks like today’s little bumps may persist… so check back this afternoon for his dose of surf wisdom.
Stay safe, take the mask and go well with your Thursday!
Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea is extending a ridge to the northern New South Wales coast. This will bring a gradual shift to northerly winds in most coastal areas on Thursday, before the next trough and southerly change affects southern and central parts of the coast on Friday. Following this, a new high looks set to develop over the Tasman Sea during the weekend, with winds once again shifting northerly.
