Hello Friends,
Wind was light from the north as the sun came over the horizon this morning. Down at Dee Why, there were a few little waves at the point, but the beach looked smaller still. Figure knee to waist on the bombs and choose your equipment accordingly. The MHL buoy is showing a metre of 10-sec east, so there should be something or other at most places. Tide is high at 0745 and dropping to low at 1415.
Weather looks to be a rinse and repeat of yesterday, ie around 30 and NE 10-20 kts in the afternoon. A big slow-moving high looks like imposing these conditions until mid-week at least.
Outlook is for the surf to gradually fade as the average periods get shorter across the next 3-4 days. Some of the models are showing the near-flat conditions sticking around for another week… oh well, we had a pretty active summer and in another few weeks I hope we’re beginning to see some autumnal happenings on the wave front.
Have yourself a great Monday and keep on smilin’!
