Hello Friends,
And the swell continues to thunder in. It was raw and 1.5x-2x overhead at Dee Why point. Quality was so-so, but there was no lack of power. Tide was low at 0640, so the morning session will have a bit of tidal push too as it comes into the modest 1.34 m high at 1245. Weather should be sunny and winds should be relatively light and SW. As of 0740 swell was 3.3 metres at 13 seconds from 141° (SE). Stay out of the water beginners and intermediates, you need to be careful too. Swell’s expected to to decrease a little by this afternoon, but it won’t be small by any stretch of the imagination. Ocean temp is down a notch to 19C.
Weather Situation
A deep low pressure system near New Zealand, in combination with a high pressure system over the Snowy Mountains, is bringing strong south to southwesterly winds and hazardous surf conditions to New South Wales waters. The high is expected to gradually move east into the Tasman Sea today, bringing easing winds to the coast, although a large and powerful south to southeasterly swell will remain for today and tomorrow.
