Hello Friends,
Perfect conditions this morning, but only the barest hint of swell showing at Dee Why. If you waited long enough – and were in exactly the right spot – there were knee to waist high one-wave sets. But in between those widely scattered and infrequent moments, it looked like a lake., And the BoM forecast says it’s only going to get smaller today. Just in case you need ’em, here are some numbers: next tide is a 0.48 m low at 1110, daytime high will be around 27°, swell as of 0600 was 1.4m at 8.7 sec from 156°. Water according to Beachwatch is a balmy 23°. Also, due to 16mm of rain in the last 24 hours, Beachwatch is putting a question mark over a number of beaches at the southern end of the peninsula this morning.
The consensus of the models is that we’re faced with 3 more days of marginal to flat conditions and then maybe things will turn around Thursday afternoon-ish as a 11-12 sec NE pulse starts to fill in. If you had to pick a day to skive off this week, I reckon Friday’s the plan.
Go well with your Monday everyone!
