Hello Friends,
Well, as expected, the surf situation is pretty marginal. That hasn’t stopped a small fleet of super peak acolytes from attending that celebrated heap of submerged Dee Why sand though.
Sets are further apart and it’s much smaller than this time yesterday. About the biggest thing I saw was struggling to make chest high on the takeoff (trough to crest). So, it isn’t totally flat, but compared to Wed-Friday of last week, it’s, well, you wouldn’t want to compare.
I’d be taking the fish or the mal to ensure maximum fun extraction from the conditions. Because it’s so marginal, the number of surfable options around the Sydney region will not be too plentiful. And that means more chums at the few spots that are working.
Outlook is for the flat to near flat conditions to persist through Monday night, but thereafter it looks as though we could be in for some solid south swell through Thursday. One of the models is currently predicting 3-4 metres of 15sec south swell from around mid-morning Tuesday. If the Bureau’s right about the wind, then there could be interesting conditions in the morning, turning onshore in the afternoon.
Weather may not be too good for picture taking though, as the Bureau is saying we could have showers on and off from Tuesday through to the weekend.
Go well with your plans and adventures!
