Hello Friends,
An extraordinary transformation overnight from thick, scary smoky skies at sundown yesterday to a sparkling morning along the beaches today. There are even a few little waves and 9-10 kts of WSW wind was making Dee Why look pretty clean. Out at sea the 2.2 metre swell is coming from 164° at 9 seconds apart. That means knee to waist high up the beach, but nothing really at the point. Tide is coming in to a swampy 1.7 metre high at 0925. By the time it’s back to low at 1550, the wind will be around to the NE. It looks from the models as though the surf conditions will be gradually fading out to near flatness tomorrow. We should see a high of 23C and water is sitting on 19C.
Have a good one and here’s hoping the fires along the east coast are tamed quickly.
