Hello Friends,
Another beautiful morning in Sydney – and we still have a few waves left in the account. Swell is a bit closer to SSE than yesterday. It’s averaging about a metre out at the MHL buoy and the average period is sitting on 9 seconds. There’s still some 11 second component in the mix, so every now and then a chest to shoulder high set arrives at Dee Why beach.
Wind is set to be out of the NW through the day but the swell trend line is distinctly downward, so my guess is that the early session will be the best of it today.
This morning’s batch of swell forecasts looks much like yesterday’s – ie it’s calling for a week (at least) of small to flat conditions for the east coast.
So get out there and enjoy and keep on smilin’!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system is centred over northwest NSW. A cold front approaches western Victoria, and is expected to cross Victoria and southeastern NSW today, moving through southern coastal waters tonight and central and possibly northern parts of the coast on Thursday before moving away. The high moves over southeast Queensland or the northern Tasman Sea and will then extend a ridge to the south, over NSW, for the remainder of the week.

Posted in: Dee Why.Tags: SSE-1m-9/11s.Hello Friends,
Sunny, light offshores and about a metre of 9sec SSE swell (with the odd 11sec set) rolling in every now and then. It should stay out of the westerly quarters until around lunch when the Bureau says we can expect the wind to shift to the SE.
Sets at Dee Why seemed to be relatively few and far between, but they ranged from around thigh to chest high when they turned up. Tide will be coming off a high during the morning.
Have yourself a good one and enjoy the sunshine, because it looks as though we’re back to SE and grey tomorrow.
TIDES: H @0820, L @1445
Weather Situation
A trough of low pressure extends through northeastern New South Wales. A cold front approaching Bass Strait is expected to bring a strong southerly change to the south coast Thursday afternoon. Another cold front is expected to affect the coast on Friday. A high pressure system southwest of the Bight is expected to move east in the wake of the second front and should be centred near Tasmania Saturday night before moving to the Tasman Sea on Sunday.

South Curly cutty.
Looped by Curly after an errand and can report it’s busy, but not absurdly so. Sets look to be in the chest high range, but I’d say you’ll be waiting your turn.
