Sunny and just surfable on Sunday morning

Hello Friends,

Another beautiful morning along the beaches. And it looks as though all of us with solar panels will be pushing lots of surplus free juice back to the network – which is another way of saying that we’re in for a sunny day with a high of 24C.
As you can see from the pictures, there were still little waist to waist and a bit waves to be had along the beach and, to a lesser extent, at the point. It looks to be busy with exercisers in the beachside bubble and at the Dee Why end of the beach, the shutdowns were plentiful and the makeable sections only a turn or two long.
Swell at sea was a metre at 11 seconds from the ESE (111°). Tide was running out the 0.42 m low at 1255 and water is still sitting on 18C.
The models are predicting that energy levels will fade away to just about nothing by Tuesday morning. A south change is expected to rattle through the joint on Tuesday afternoon, so we should see bigger waves on Wednesday, but with post-frontal wind making it scrappy for the morning session at least. The models currently show us getting back to really small on Thursday and then getting into the flat zone for Friday…

Take care everybody, don’t put off the jab and keep wearing the mask so we don’t spread it to the unprotected before they too can reach the safety of full vaccination.
