Sunny start but minimal wave activity

Nobody in the water at 0750 

 
Hello Friends,
A nice looking morning at Dee Why, but there didn’t appear to be anything in the way of surf as of 0750. Wind was coming lightly from the ENE at 5-7 kts, but it should pick up steadily this morning and by this afternoon the Bureau says we can expect 20-25 kts out of the NE. As of 0500 swell was out of the ENE at 7 seconds apart and slightly more than a metre in height. Tide was high at 0410 and is currently dropping to the 0.63 m low at 1100. It’s back to a 1.25 m high at 1630. Speaking of highs, we’re told to expect 30C along the coast today. Ocean has warmed up to 23C and Beachwatch says apart from perennial offenders Birdwood Park and Queenscliff, the water is clean.
Surf outlook is less than wonderous for the next couple of days – and then we’re due to cop a south change that should push up something on Friday while giving us a respite from the heat.
Have a top old Tuesday everybody!

 

Not a hint of a wave at No Mans
