"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Smoky Sunday with micro surf

Hello Friends,

Sunday started out very smoky along the beaches, although if you looked straight up, the sky was more blue than cloudy. That’ll change though because the forecast is for a  95% chance of 15-25mm rain later. And then it’s going to be a week of showery weather from the look of it. Out at sea the swell was coming from the ENE at 6-7 seconds apart and less than a metre of height. Dee Why was of course flat as a tack.

Sadly it looks like the lightweight, short period stuff will continue more or less right across the coming week.

Oh well, it is spring after all.

Stay safe folks and have a good Sunday!

Burn-off smoke thick at 0800

Weather Situation

A northerly flow covers the coastal waters ahead of a cold front bringing a southerly change up the New South Wales coast during Sunday and into Monday. A ridge of high pressure then extends from the south later Monday into Tuesday.

Forecast for Sunday until midnight
