Hello Friends,
Still showery with a blustery 15-20 kt southerly scudding the clouds across the sky and tearing up the ocean. Dee Why didn’t look remotely surfable as of 0700 and given the forecast for strong winds through the day, I’d say that’s pretty unlikely to change. Out at sea the swell was 3 metres with another 3 metres of sea on top. Peak periods are 11 seconds from the SE. Not that it matters from a surfing perspective, but high tide hit at 0640 and it’s now dropping to the low at 12320. Weather should stay mostly cloudy with the occasional shower.
Tomorrow should see a more SW’ly wind pattern with a couple metres of SE swell holding out hope for a wave – but water quality is not good, in fact Beachwatch yesterday warned that pollution is likely at most beaches.
Go well and stay safe!
