Hello Friends
A few waves to be had at spots that LIKE SE swell. According to the MHL data, the average height of the swell is around 1.5 metres and the average period is sitting on 9 seconds. There were very small waves at Dee Why point, but up to chest high faces along the beach. Wind wasn’t a factor either. According to the marine forecast, the NE’ly wind should come up by about lunch time. So if you can’t get in the water until then, you may want to mess around in a north corner.
It looks from this morning’s swell forecasts as though we’re heading into a few days of tiny to near flat conditions in Sydney. The swell heights are likely to be under the metre mark out at sea and therefore it’s likely to be smaller than that on the beaches.
Most of the long range forecast modelling this morning is showing not much in the immediate future. It seems as though there might be some possibility of swell worth the name next week. But that is a long way out where these things are concerned, so I’m not getting excited just yet…
Have yourself a top old Monday!

Partly cloudy. The chance of showers in the late morning or afternoon. Light winds tending east to northeasterly up to 20 km/h around midday.
Marine Weather Situation
A weak low pressure trough near the southern New South Wales coast is weakening today as a high strengthens over the Tasman Sea. This high will be the dominant synoptic feature during the next few days as it moves slowly east, maintaining a generally east to northeasterly airstream along the coast. The next trough is expected to approach the state’s west late in the week, with northerly winds increasing ahead of a southerly change on the weekend.
