Hello Friends,
At 0630 Dee Why was seeing shoulder to head high plus sets at the point and along the beach. Skies were mostly cloudy and wind was coming from the west at around 8-9 kts. Tide was running in to a 1.6 m high at 0815. The MHL buoy hasn’t updated since yesterday morning, so I can’t provide solid numbers, but going by the Bureau’s modelling, it would seem that this morning is likely to be the peak. So the plan is to hit it ASAP I’d say.
Tomorrow should see the waves back into the marginal range and right now it seems likely to bump around in that territory for the next week.
Enjoy your Wednesday everyone!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the state’s west is extending a ridge towards the coast, promoting generally lighter winds today, with afternoon sea breezes developing in many areas. By Thursday this high is expected to be over the northern Tasman Sea, where it should remain slow-moving for the following few days. A trough may bring a weak southerly change to southern waters during Friday, otherwise northerly winds will dominate until the next cold front arrives later on the weekend.
