Hello Friends,
One look at the pictures tells the story: it’s stormy and horrible looking at Dee Why. Out at sea it’s still 4-6 metres at 13 seconds from the SSE. Wind was 18-24 kts just before 0800. With showers. So, yeah, nah.
It should stay SW during the day, but then go SE late and tomorrow looks a lot like today, but with SE wind. A lot of us will be waiting this one out.
Stay safe and go well!

This low is expected to linger offshore, gradually weakening and moving a little further north during Tuesday and Wednesday, before moving away to the east mid-week.
