Hello Friends,
Another beautiful morning along the beaches and, wonder of wonders, there were a few little longboardable knee high sets to be had at Dee Why. Wind was a light 5 kt WNW and out at sea the swell was 0.7 m from 106° at 11 seconds. Tide was coming off the 0.5 m low at 0635 and heading to a moderate 1.3 m high at 1240.
Weather call is for a 70% chance of showers late this afternoon. Wind’s going to pick up too and by the time the raindrops arrive, it should be in the 15-20 kt range from the N-NE.
Swell looks like drifting around to the E by ESE tomorrow and to possibly come up a touch with it. That said, I’m not expecting anything terribly exciting. It should be another sunny day with little waves though.
A south pulse has been on the cards for the weekend for a few days now and this morning’s modelling predicts that it may get seriously big (as in 4-5 metres at 10-12 seconds). Unfortunately it also promises to be accompanied by 20-30+ kts of southerly wind with cloudy and showery weather through to Monday.
Have a top old Wednesday everyone!
Weather Situation
A weak high pressure ridge extending across the east will be replaced today as a front moves from west to east across the state. Winds will turn northerly and freshen ahead of the front today, followed by a fresh to strong west to southwesterly wind change on Thursday into Friday.
