Hello Friends,
Another sunny day with a trickle of south east swell and offshore winds coming up. Dee Why is showing the odd waist high set along the beach (but nothing at the point). Tide is now coming in to high at 1450, so those little bumps may be adversely affected as a consequence.
The models aren’t suggesting any real improvement in swell energy levels today, but from tomorrow and through to Tuesday there should be a few more interesting options, particularly in the mornings. The predictions are calling for the current metre or so of SE swell to maybe get a bit more east and to bump up closer to the 1.5 – 2 metre range (ie double what it is now). Of the two days, most models reckon Monday will be the better.
Have yourself a great Sunday everyone!
Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system lies over the Tasman Sea, and is combining with a high pressure system over central Australia to direct a west to southwesterly airstream across New South Wales coastal waters. The high will move eastwards across northern New South Wales and into the Tasman on Monday and Tuesday while gradually weakening, with winds along the coast tending more north to northwesterly. A strong cold front will reach the New South Wales coast on Wednesday night or Thursday, bringing strengthening winds ahead of a gusty westerly change.
