Hello Friends,
Tide was low around 0520 this morning and will hit the high at around 1150. Not that it’s likely to make much difference to Dee Why. As the day got started, the wind swell was lapping in at about 7 seconds apart. It was close to the 2 metre mark at sea and coming from the ENE. Wind was out of the NNE at 10-15 kts. It’s set to build up to 20-30 kts ahead of a strong 30-35 kt south change this evening. So, if you’re really keen, head to the north corners where you just might find something to grovel around on.
The change will rip the primary swell direction around to the south and while it is set to push up into the 2-3 metre range at sea, 20-30 kts of southerly will limit the options pretty severely.
Southerly conditions are set to prevail on Friday with more short period south wind swell.
Early summer… what can ya do?
Have yourself a great day!
Weather Situation
A high near New Zealand extends a ridge over the north coast of NSW. A broad trough lies over western NSW. A cold front approaches the trough from the southwest, and this will move through much of the state on Wednesday and through northeastern NSW on Thursday. Along the coast, the change is forecast to be strong during Wednesday, reaching gale force at times later in the day. It is expected to reach Gabo Island Wednesday morning and the Sydney coast Wednesday evening and the far North Coast on Thursday morning.
