Hello Friends,
Looks very tiny most places this morning, but if Northy is any guide, north corners are picking up waist plus waves. However, if you’re thinking about Dee Why, expect ankle to knee at the south end and knee to thigh up toward Longy. But there’s a bit of a wait in lake like conditions between the sets. There’s a mix of microscopic south and about a metre of 8-second NNE bump as the day gets started.
First tide of the day was the high at 0730 and by the time it’s low again at 1330, the wind should be 20-30 kts from the north, swinging SW toward dusk.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system centred over the northern Tasman sea and a cold front approaching from the west are directing northerly winds over New South Wales waters. A weak southerly change is moving through southern coastal waters this morning ahead of the front. A stronger west to southwesterly change will sweep through most New South Wales waters this afternoon with the passage of the front.
