Hello Friends,
The Bureau was calling for southerlies today, but this morning started out with westerlies and that was a good thing for the declining swell. Sets were in the head high plus range at Dee Why as the day got started, but the outlook is for the swell to tail off steadily into the new week, so I’d be making plans for sooner rather than later. That said, the latest swell modelling is pointing toward some manner of surfable waves through most of the week.
Have yourself a top old Monday one and all!

Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system over western Victoria extends a ridge towards New South Wales as a deep low in the eastern Tasman Sea slowly moves eastwards. As the high moves slowly east, wind will ease further over coastal waters and remain relatively light over most waters until later in the week.
