Hello Friends,
Stiff WSW wind from early and swell looking pretty much dead south. It was totally missing the likes of Manly, but there was a hint at the south end of Curly and Dee Why seemed to be picking up the early sets. It’s set to ramp this morning (see Bureau forecast below).
Not a day for beginners at the magnet spots. Know your limits. Watch it for awhile to see what the bomb sets look like.
Stay safe everyone!
Weather Situation
A cold front is moving north along the east coast, with a vigorous southerly wind developing in its wake. Winds will ease on Thursday as a high pressure system moves across the region during the latter part of the week before the next front moves across the state during the weekend.
