Hello Friends,
Very quiet on the surf front this morning. The NE’r didn’t really kick in hard yesterday and so this morning’s residual NE wind bump wasn’t looking all that impressive at Dee Why. Swell at sea was 1.8 metres from the NE, but with a period of only 6-7 seconds. The Bureau says we’ll have 15-25 kts of NE this afternoon, so at least it shouldn’t be any smaller tomorrow morning and in the meantime, there might be some scrappy onshore fun later today. In case you were wondering, tide as high at 0645 and will be back to low at 1335. Weather should be mostly sunny as we head to a high of 32C along the coast. Water is a very temperate 24C.
Go well with your Monday and take the mask, the virus could still be lurking as viral fragments were found in sewerage tests at both North Head and Warriewood yesterday.
Weather Situation
A slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge to the northern New south Wales coast. The high is expected to remain dominant in the region until Tuesday, when it looks set to weaken and allow a stronger trough to move through southern and central waters.
