Hello Friends,
Last night the Bureau was talking about possible percipitation overnight, but this morning sees largely clear skies and, sadly, no surf at Dee Why. The MHL buoy was showing a metre of 7-second NE wind bump at 0500. As you can see from the pics, there’s really nothing going on surfwise. Looks like another great morning for a stroll along the strand, but you might as well leave the board at home if Dee Why’s your destination. Because it’s coming from the NE there might possibly be a little something at Curly, Northy or Manly, but I’d be taking the log and hoping for the odd knee high bomb.
At 0700 the wind was lightly out’ve the WNW at North Head. THe Bureau is calling for it to pick up to 20+ kts as it swings to the west (and likely makes it even smaller…).
Tide hits high at 0930, so on top of everything else, it’s gonna be fat.
Outlook for the coming week is distinctly ordinary. The Goat is right on as far as the models. Really looks sad until (maybe) the end of next week. Awww…
Have a top old Saturday!
