Hello Friends,
Only tiny, infrequent lines appearing at Dee Why this morning. One person was in the water up the beach from the SLSC at about 0700, but I didn’t see them come close to catching anything. I’d say you’d be doing pretty well if you found anything to propel you toward the sand this morning.
According to the MHL buoy data, the swell at sea is around the metre mark. It’s coming from the south at a reasonably healthy 10 seconds apart but there’s just not much of anything showing.
Outlook for the coming week continues to be for small to flat. Winds are expected to go around to the SE tomorrow and to stay out of the southerly quarters through to the weekend. The hopeful signs in the long range forecast of a day or two ago have become less so in this morning’s forecast round up. Oh well.
Have yourself a great Monday!
TIDES: H @0800, L @1350
