Hello Friends,
South change blew through last night and left behind grey skies and 15-20 kts of southerly for Dee Why. A warm morning despite the cloud and wind, but nothing doing on the surf front. I watched Dee Why for some time this morning and did not see a wave caught – which was hardly surprising given the utterly gutless ankle to knee high chop on offer. A Sunday for other things I’d say.
Judging by the models’ predictions for the coming week, I’d say the next couple of days are likely to be write-offs, but maybe from around Wednesday we’ll see a bit of improvement – wind willing.
Have a good one and go well with your Sunday plans
Weather Situation
A weakening high pressure system near New Zealand extends a ridge towards northeast New South Wales, generating a east to northeasterly flow over northern New South Wales waters. A trough over Sydney waters will slowly edge northward through the Hunter waters today, with southerly winds to its south. This trough will stall and weaken later today as a new high pressure system moves to the southern Tasman Sea and brings northeasterly winds to the whole coast by Monday evening.
