Hello Friends,
What an autumn we’ve had. And it continues this morning with partly cloudy skies, light WSW wind and waves into the shoulder high range on the bigger ones. At Dee Why the energy is mostly missing the point, but it looks kind of fun, if a bit inconsistent, up th beach. Out at sea the swell has bumped back up into the two metre range and the period has stretched out a little to 10 seconds with a dominant direction of 146°. Tide hits a 1.4 m high at 0835 and then drops back to the low at 1420.
While there is nothing remarkable in this morning’s run of the swell models, it does look as though we should have solid surf tomorrow and Friday at least.
Have a top old Wednesday everyone!
Weather Situation
A slow-moving trough is off the south coast of New South Wales while a high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea moves east today. The trough will move east on Thursday ahead of the next cold front which is expected to clip the south coast late on Thursday and establish fresh southwesterly flow across most coastal waters on Friday.
