Hello Friends,

Small east wind swell getting into our beaches this morning under heavy grey skies before 0700. It’s around the 1.5 metre mark and the average period is 7-8 seconds. Tide’s coming in as I write this and will hit high at 1030 and then drop away pretty rapidly to the low at 1650. There’s a 70% chance of rain and it should get to 27.

Waves were around the waist to chest high plus range at Dee Why, Northy and South Narrabeen this morning and thanks to the light winds, were also fairly glassy.

Wind is expected to be SE by lunch time before going back around to the NE later.

Outlook is for energy levels to drop back a touch but we should have something to mess around with through the weekend. Next week on the other hand is looking pretty marginal from the computer modelling. So, enjoy what you have while you have it.

Go well one and all.

Hello Friends,

Dull and small around the place this morning. A 1.84 m high tide at 0710 and 15-20 kt SSE wind were doing a demolition job on the decaying south east wind swell. I didn’t see anyone in the water at Dee Why, nor on the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch. Swell at sea is fading and as of first light was at around the 2 metre mark out at sea with an average period of 8 seconds.

The swell models are still showing a long period pulse hitting tomorrow, but the wind forecast is not looking good. The SE’ly is set to carry on through Thursday evening. It may tail off, so there could possibly be something marginal toward the end of the day. Thereafter, the aforementioned models show us going back to micro conditions through the weekend – and beyond.

Hope your Wednesday is a good one.

Weather Situation
A cold front lies over the far north coast and a high pressure system is located in the Bight. This high will move over the southern Tasman Sea during the day establishing an onshore airstream. A trough extends southwards from Queensland into northern NSW. Another frontal system and associated trough move into southwest NSW later on Friday before moving across the state over the weekend.
