"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Last sunny Sunday in 2020

Hello Friends,

Nice to have a sunny start to the final Sunday of 2020. There are tiny waves at Dee Why, but it’s looking inconsistent, busy and not offering much above the knee high mark. As of 0900 there was a light WNW breeze to go with the 1.2 metre 6-sec east wind bump. High tide was at 0715 so we’re currently headed to the low at 1400. By then the wind should be around to the NE and pushing along at a summery 15-25 kts along with the possibility of a thunderstorm late this afternoon. Temp is due to reach 28C along the beaches and water is still onĀ  21C.

It looks as though the rest of the week will be cloudy and showery on and off. Surf outlook is pretty ho-hum with no significant swell showing in the forecast models until (maybe) next week. Expect more of what we’re seeing this morning through to next weekend.

Go well with your Sunday and stay home unless it’s urgent or your going for exercise. And mask up. If everyone wore masks, infection rates would be dramatically reduced because it’s a lot harder for sick person to spread virus if they’re masked.
