Hello Friends,
Are you keen? Really, really, really keen? Well, if you take something big and floaty down to Dee Why this morning, you might get a knee high dribbler to carry you a few metres before exhausting itself on the sands.
Otherwise, if you’ve got other things to do, well, I’d do ’em.
Wind is set to remain lightly onshore today. Swell’s coming mainly from the SE at about a metre with an average period of 11 seconds. That means mostly knee high on the catchable ones, with the very occasional waist high burbler.
Outlook for the remainder of the work week and into Saturday looks like being pretty much more of the same. But then the models are pointing toward a little uptick late Sunday and through to Monday. Beyond that, there’s some divergence among the interpretations but generally it looks like another midweek slump with a rising trend toward the following weekend.
Have yourself a fun old Wednesday and get up to some good where you can!

Weather Situation
A high pressure system to the east of Tasmania extends a ridge northwards as a trough near the New South Wales coast weakens, while another low pressure trough lies over the state’s west. Over the next few days the high will drift slowly across the Tasman Sea, maintaining generally onshore winds for coastal waters until a trough affects the region during the weekend.
