Hello Friends,
Looked inconsistent and around the waist high mark at Dee Why before 0800. Wind was barely NW and the call from the Bureau is for it to be light and variable this morning. Swell at sea was 1.7 metres at 11 seconds from the east. Tide was coming into the high at 1130. Given the numbers, I reckon NE magnets could be seeing shoulder plus sets.
Outlook is for conditions to remain surfable tomorrow morning, but then Fri-Sat is shaping to be messy as a south wind regime takes over.
Have a great Wednesday!
Weather Situation
A trough on the southern coast is expected to stall and decay as a high pressure system over the Tasman Sea slowly drifts east and weakens. A new trough will move along the southern and central coast during Thursday, reaching the northern border Friday morning bringing a fresh southerly change. Behind this, the next high pressure system is expected to drift across Tasmania through the weekend, reaching the Tasman Sea by Monday and extending a ridge along the NSW coast.
