Hello Friends,
Still quite murky when I grabbed a snap of Dee Why at 0800. At 0600 the MHL buoy was picking up a metre of 7-sec SE wind bump and as you can see it’s not translating into surf. Tide was high at 0610 and will be low at 1155. Wind was north at 10 kts as I was working on this but the Bureau says it should pick up later and tomorrow here’s a strong ind warning for NW 15-25 kts plus a mix of south and NE swells. I wouldn’t be getting too hopeful though as the models are pretty much all stuck on ankle to knee predictions.
Have a good Wednesday everyone and keep on smilin’!

By Thursday evening this low is likely to be well offshore over the Tasman Sea, and conditions will gradually ease and turn more southwesterly during Friday as a weak high pressure system moves over eastern Australia.
