Hello Friends,
Blue skies and offshore, tide dropping and… just about no wave energy at Dee Why. There were a few bods paddling about, but the best waves looked to be in the knee plus range.
Outlook is for it to stay small to flat for today and tomorrow. On Thursday it seems we’re in for a belting southerly. That’ll push up the wave heights, but the surf options will be limited to the usual spots. Plus it’ll be back to grey skies.
So enjoy the sunny day and here’s hoping for the southerly to bring us waves but not stick around all weekend to mess ’em up!
Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system is moving over the western Tasman Sea. Variable winds along the New South Wales coast will gradually turn southerly from the south later today and Wednesday as the low moves further east and a high pressure system south of the Bight extends a ridge behind it. The high is expected to move very slowly east over the next few days strengthening the ridge along the coast.
