Hello Friends,
A breezy, partly cloudy start to Monday morning with a light northerly breeze texturing the ocean. There’s a tiny, short period NE wind bump out at sea, but it’s just too weak and tiny to deliver much of anything to Dee Why. Looks like a great day for a swim or a walk on the beach, but surfing’s pretty much off the agenda. Both the GFS and ECMWF swell models are predicting tiny to flat surf prospects through to next weekend. As of this morning the GFS model is showing a solid, long period south pulse arriving late Saturday, but it’ll likely be accompanied by strong south wind too.
Anyway, have a top old Monday everyone!
Weather Situation
