Hello Friends,
Pretty small, fairly inconsistent and sub-10 degree temp to start, but the skies were blue and if you were keen, there were a few little waves to be had at Dee Why this morning.
The wind is supposed to come up today and be going strongly offshore by this afternoon. So your best chance of a wave will probably be earlier because once the westerly gets going I reckon the swell could be flattened to near vanishing point. The MHL site was down this morning, but looking at the lines coming into Dee Why, I’d say it’s got a fair amount of east in it. So there should be little peaks (banks willing) at various spots.
Outlook is for a couple more days of smallness and then sometime around Thursday we could get a fresh south pulse. It could be a big one too. Right now the models are pointing toward upwards of three to four metres on Friday and a similar size on Saturday. However, the wind will be a factor as it’s forecast to be strong and from the southern quarters.
Have yourself a top old day!
Weather Situation
A cold front, with associated strong westerly winds, will affect the New South Wales coast later today and Wednesday as a low develops over the southern Tasman Sea. As this low moves further east into the Tasman on Thursday and Friday, winds will turn more southerly and become strong to gale force along southern and central parts of the coast.
