Hello Friends,
Pretty quiet down at the ol’ Dee Why this Tuesday morning. A few bods were in the water more or less in front of the surf club at 0715. Every now and then a little knee to thigh high wave face makes a brief appearance and the crew pounces. It’s another easy day to go to work or school, secure in the knowledge that you’re really not missing much at all. If you’re one of the ever changing crew of surf travellers, well, you’re probably not as sanguine.
This morning’s swell forecasts are all more or less agreeing that energy levels are going to continue in the current pattern through the weekend. Kinda sad for the big surf contest, but as we all know, that just goes with the territory. The very speculative long range forecasts are pointing toward a solid looking south swell around Monday-Tuesday. There’s likely to be a fair amount of wind from the southern quarters with it.
Have yourself a good Thursday one and all!
Tides: L @1340, H @1930
Weather Situation
A weak trough has stalled near Seal Rocks surrounded by weak high pressure systems on either side of the trough. This trough is expected to decay over the next few days moving slowly northwards as the high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea moves eastwards. Winds will generally be moderate to fresh from a northeast to southeast direction over the next few days.
