Hello Friends,
Icy early thanks to the cold air and 7-13 kt WNW wind, but skies were mostly clear and on top of all that, Dee Why was seeing waist to maybe shoulder high sets for the hardy specimens getting amongst it by 0800.
Out at sea the swell was 1.5 metres from the ENE at 9 seconds apart. The models predict that it will maintain these settings across the day. Wind’s set to stay W-NW too. First tide of the daylight hours is/was a moderate 1.3 metre high at 0850. Low is 0.6 m at 1420. It should be partly cloudy but we’re only getting to 16C for the high. Water’s 19C, so there is that.
Wondering about the weekend and beyond surf prospects? Well, as always, the Mighty Goat has examined the entrails and set forth his Sydney surf predictions for your kind attention.
Go well, stay warm and have fun.
