Hello Friends,
Leisurely start for your correspondent this morning and it seems I haven’t missed much – at least where Dee Why’s concerned. Yesterday arvo I joined the crowds near No Man’s and though it was small, I managed to get quite a grovellers in the waist high range. There was some 12 second stuff in the mix then, but this morning it’s gone, plus the swell heights have dropped a touch and the primary direction is getting close to east.
The expected southerly change has just arrived and the wind’s now racked around and picked up to 15-20 kts.
Tide’s just gone high as I write this and from the look of the folks in the water at Dee Why, you’re going to need a rescue board or longer to catch anything much. Plus, I think you’re going to have to walk a fair distance to get to the sand as the carpark is practically spilling into the lagoon this morning.
Outlook is for this afternoon to be pretty much as it is now – ie near flat. There might possibly be a little bump in the semi-protected east exposed corners.
Monday and Tuesday look set to be dominated by SW winds and a small but gradually rising SE swell. The models are looking a bit more optimistic for the middle of the week than they were a day or two ago. It currently appears that we could have something into the interesting range from late Tuesday through (maybe) Thursday early. The models are showing 2 metres dead south at 11 seconds, so it’s not likely to be big, but some spots could be into the head high range.
Here’s hoping…
Go well with your day and stay happy!
