Hello Friends,
Woke to a brief but soaking shower gurgling in the downpipes. As of 0900, the sun is back along the Northern beaches and the hazy air is (briefly?) diminished. We have some little waist with odd plusses dead south wind swell lapping into Dee Why. Out at sea the MHL data showed it was around the two metre mark at 7 seconds apart and coming broadly from the SSW-SSE.
Low tide was at 545 and will hit a pretty high high at just after noon. Going to a mostly sunny high of 27 along the beaches. Wind’ll pick up from the east to NE at 10-15. So all and all, a standard summer day with little waves at south spots.
Looks as though it’ll be dropping tomorrow but then maybe coming back up in the arvo and lasting into Tuesday morning.
Have yourself a happy and safe Sunday!
