Hello Friends,

It appeared to be just about flat when I checked Dee Why at 0730. Swell’s out of the south at about a metre at sea, but average period is around the 8 second mark. Plus, the wind was out of the WNW at 15-20 kts. Nice looking day otherwise…

There’s nothing much showing on the buoys off to the south of Sydney and the Bureau’s modelling is showing it staying small through the day. It might come up a touch, but the main pulse is due to arrive around lunch time tomorrow, when the call is for 3-4 metres of south swell by dusk. That should last overnight and through Saturday. Unfortunately the wind forecast hasn’t improved. The swell is set to arrive with 30-35kts of S-SW wind. On Saturday it’s set to be southerly (but decreasing a bit during the day).

Have yourself a top old Friday!

Weather Situation

A low east of Tasmania is expected to move slowly to the east/northeast maintaining the strong to gale force southwest airstream over the southern and central parts of the coast throughout Friday before winds turn more southerly and ease on Saturday. Onshore airstream is likely to develop during Sunday as a ridge builds to the south.
