Hello Friends,
The Bureau says the swell should be southerly at 2-3 metres, but as the pictures show, that definitely wasn’t the case at Dee Why as of 0730. The clue may be in the numbers. As of 0740 the swell was dead south and 1.7 metres, but the period was just 5-7 seconds. So, there’s your problem, right there. The swell models are predicting that the short period setting isn’t likely to improve until – maybe – the weekend.
So, another day to pursue your fave non-surf activities.
Go well and have a top old day!
Weather Situation
Fresh to strong westerly to southwesterly winds will become more southwesterly and strengthen while spreading to the north coast as a cold front moves away into the Tasman Sea. Winds are forecast to ease and turn northerly during the midweek as a high pressure system moves overhead before reaching the Tasman Sea. Early Friday, another cold front looks set to cross the coastal waters, with winds shifting westerly after the passage of the front.
Forecast for Tuesday until midnight
