Hello Friends,
Although it looked to be clouding up this morning, the Bureau says there’s only a 10% chance of rain. And I’d say it looks like only a 10% chance of catching a wave above waist high at Dee Why. Surface conditions were smooth before 0800 and out at sea the buoys were seeing 1.3 metres of 11-12 sec dead south swell. So maybe you could find a waist plus every now and then at optimal exposures. Yesterday Beachwatch was calling water temp 20C.
Swell models are uniformly bleak for the near term. What we have now is likely to be what we have until our next south change arrives on Saturday. And then it’ll be windy and messy for a couple of days from the current predictions.
Go well with your Tuesday everyone!
