Hello Friends,
A good Monday to get caught up after a few days of surf – and before the next pulse arrives late tomorrow.
Dee Why was very small at 0830 when I grabbed the snap. In fact, I could only see a single surfer bobbing hopefully around amongst those productive banks up the beach from the SLSC. Looks as though they’ll have to sit there until sometime tomorrow afternoon before anything much happens. Swell is out of the east at about a metre at sea with an average period of 9 seconds. That should mean that more east exposed spots ought to have a little something late morning as we come up to the low tide at 1230.
The wind’s set to pick up, but at least it’ll be offshore, so the outlook for finding a little tiny something is not beyond reason. Just be happy if you find sets in the waist high range.
The forecast modelling this morning is showing the south swell arriving overnight and from around midday tomorrow it should, in theory, be pretty obvious at south swell spots.
It appears the swell will peak on Wednesday when the wind will still be SW and pretty strong. The SW’ly will be going pretty hard though. On Thursday some of the models are predicting the wind to go to the south as the swell begins to back off.
Have yourself a great Monday!
Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system over the southwestern Tasman Sea is slowly moving east and a high pressure system near the Bight is extending a ridge to the northern Tasman Sea. During Monday the low move will move slowly towards New Zealand as the high strengthens the ridge along New South Wales coast.
