Hello Friends,
Mostly sunny skies and light westerly breezes as Sunday kicked off. A perfect beach day for Sydney in every respect but one. Swell is a metre at 8 seconds from the south, so it’s up a tiny bit since yesterday. Dee Why however still didn’t look surfable from the RealSurf crows nest. Yesterday afternoon I saw knee to waist high waves at Curly, so that might be a better shot than the Dee Why stretch today.
Tide was low at 0715 and is coming into a 1.4 m high at 1335.
Outlook is for it to be small to flat until around Wednesday at which point most of the models show increasing but short-period east wind bump. By Thursday the models are showing the period getting into the 10 sec range and swell heading toward the 3+ metre zone which should be accompanied by brisk westerly wind. Interesting…
Have a top old Sunday everyone!
Weather Situation
A weak high pressure system is drifting across New South Wales today, and will be over the Tasman Sea by evening. This movement will see a gradual return to northerly winds over most New South Wales waters, before the next cold front and gusty westerly change on Tuesday. Vigorous winds are likely to linger into the middle part of the week, with a deep low pressure system moving over the Tasman Sea and a new high approaching from the west.
