Hello Friends,
Cold and grey this morning along the beaches. But early on the wind was out of the SSW at 15-20kts and it was pretty clean as a consequence at Dee Why. Sets were into the shoulder to head high range too. The MHL buoy went offline yesterday shortly after the swell peaked, so I don’t have objective numbers, but based on observation and the other buoy data, I’d say the average swell height is somewhere between 2 and 3 metres at sea with an average period of around 8-9 seconds from the south.
I’ll try to add a few remarks on the outlook later today… go well.

A high south of the Bight will move very slowly eastwards over the next few days with a moderating southwest to southerly airstream over NSW. Over the weekend the high should be centred near Bass Strait with winds tending southeasterly over the state. A trough of low pressure is expected to develop off the coast on Sunday.Forecast for Thursday until midnight
