Hello Friends,
The wind swell is still dead south this morning. It bumped up during the morning yesterday and is holding at around 2 metres. Too bad the average period of 7 seconds means that the sets are few and far between and for the most part not all that impressive. Okay, on with the optimist hat… but, the wind was light early, there weren’t many people around at Dee Why for the early and if you were keen there were definitely waist to maybe chest high sets to be had.
The plan is to get out there sooner rather than later because the Bureau tells us that this morning’s S-SW wind will swing to the SE later.
Tide is high at 0830 and low at 1450 or so.
Weather is supposed to be partly cloudy with a chance of a shower and a high of 24.
Nothing too exciting on this morning’s swell prediction modelling for our region. More bumping along in small to near flatland from the look of it…
Keep on smilin’ and have a top old day!
Weather Situation from the Bureau of Meterology
A low pressure system over the central Tasman Sea is moving to the southeast while a high pressure ridge strengthens along the New South Wales coast. A broad trough of low pressure remains over the state’s west. During Thursday and Friday a high will move from the Bight to the Tasman Sea, and continue to build a ridge into New South Wales. This high is forecast to be the dominant synoptic feature through the weekend, moving only very slowly to the east.
