Nothing happening

Immense set

Hello Friends,

Swell perked a tiny bit overnight, but it’s got too much SW in it to be getting into many beaches this morning. Dee Why and Longy were just barely showing a little knee to waist line before 0700. With the tide rushing into a big high at 0945, those waves may not survive the swamping.

The energy levels are set to peak around midday and then will very gradually roll off, but there just might be some tiny barely catchable ripples through tomorrow at south exposed spots.

Tides: H @0945, L @1545

Weather Situation
Windy conditions persist over southern New South Wales in the wake of a complex low pressure system moving over the southern Tasman Sea. Winds will ease this afternoon as the low moves further towards the east and a ridge of high pressure extends across the region. Early in the new week this high is forecast to move over the Tasman Sea, with winds shifting northerly ahead of the next frontal system.
Forecast for Saturday until midnight
