SW’ly Sunday morning

Smaller by quite a bit

Hello Friends,

Wind was SSW 15-25 kts inshore this morning. The Bureau says we can expect it to go southerly later. Swell is mainly out of the ESE to SE at around 2.3 metres on average with a period of a touch over 10 seconds. This was delivering a somewhat setty and choppy shoulder plus surf experience to the first shift at Dee Why. Most of the action that I saw was happening along the beach, but there were a number of folks bobbing around off the point, so I assume there must be the odd set out there.

Although we have swell, that wind will confine the surf options pretty severely I’d say. Find a corner and enjoy!

This morning’s swell modelling foretells a marginal weak ahead. With luck it won’t actually get to flat, but from the look of it, the wind supply will be pretty steady…

Should have some fresh galleries up for you later today as I shot at Gardens, North Narra and Mona Vale yesterday.

Go well!

The change will extend to the far north coast Sunday afternoon as a strong high pressure system moves south of the Bight extending a ridge behind the front. This high is expected to move over the southwestern Tasman Sea.
