Hello Friends,
Incoming tide, outgoing swell = not much going on at Dee Why. The swell’s down to about a metre out at sea. It’s coming more from the SE and the Bureau says it’ll be around to the east soon. Best sets I saw were struggling to get to waist high. From the shape of the forecast models, the likelihood is that it will stay like this for the next couple days.
The swell forecast models for this morning continue to show a very large swell event at the end of the week. As usual they aren’t unanimous about they project it all unfolding, but by Thursday it should be approaching the peak. The Bureau’s projections don’t show much happening by Wednesday morning, but some of the other interpretations disagree and say that as early as tomorrow afternoon there should be evidence of the pulse.
The predicted peak is around the 6 metre(!) mark at SE spots. Wind is projected to be in 15-20 kt range from the south. And there should be on again off again showers with it.
Should be interesting!
Go well with your Monday and keep on smilin’
Tides: H @1015, L @1600
Weather Situation
A cold front which moved across western parts of New South Wales overnight will reach the coast today, while an associated low pressure system passes over Bass Strait. An approaching upper level feature is expected to assist in the development of a second low over the western Tasman Sea during Tuesday, while a high to the south of Tasmania strengthens and maintains a ridge into western New South Wales. This low is likely to deepen further on Wednesday and appears likely to remain almost stationary over the Tasman Sea through to the end of the week, with windy conditions developing along much of the coast.
