"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Dull start at Dee Why

Hello Friends,

As foretold by the swell prediction models, conditions in Sydney this morning are not great where the surf is concerned. So I guess you can devote yourself to other matters today. The energy settings are lowly indeed. We have a fluffy 7 second period metre of NE wind swell lapping in. So, you might get a knee to waist high thing at the NE spots. Wind was out of the NE at 10-15+ kts as of 0730 and the Bureau is calling for it to be hoofing along at 20-30 kts by lunch time. Should be a summery 27 with the prospect of a late shower too.

So maybe there’ll be a scrappy little something into the waist plus range at those NE spots later.

Speaking of temps, I reckon it’s getting close to time for me to put the steamer away and switch over to the springy as the water gets toward the 20 mark.

Outlook remains dire for the rest of the week in Sydney, but there seems to be hope of another weekend south pulse on Sunday. Hope those models are right…

Tide was low at 0625 and will hit high at 1250.

Hope you have a great Tuesday and good luck on the Cup should you be so inclined.

Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the eastern Tasman Sea is directing north to northeasterly winds along the New South Wales coast. This high is expected to remain slow-moving through much of the week, as a broad trough of low pressure approaches from the west. The trough and an associated cold front are forecast to reach the coast towards the end of the week, bringing a cooler southerly change.
