Hello Friends,
Light SW wind and a high tide at 0730 combine with the slowly fading swell to deliver chest to head plus conditions at Dee Why this morning. Swell’s SE and around the two metre mark at sea with an average period of about 10 seconds. There were waves at the point and along the beach too. The banks situation doesn’t looked too flash – more shutdowns than makeable ones.
The Bureau tells us the southerly will pick up during the day and be a moderate 10-15kts this afternoon as we head toward low tide at 1415. The southerly regime looks to be in place one way or another right through to next weekend. So, morning’s will be the best shot. Swell should stay in the surfable range (figure knee to waist, with chest plus at standouts) though. We’re gradually leaving the summer doldrums behind.
Have yourself a great Sunday!
Weather Situation
A deep low pressure system lies over the southwestern Tasman Sea and is expected to move further east and weaken today as a high pressure system moves south of the Bight extending a ridge to New South Wales north coast. Winds are expected to gradually turn southeasterly during Monday and Tuesday as the coastal ridge strengthens.
