Hello Friends,
The thumping swell of the last couple days has dropped away overnight and this morning sees waist high and weak looking conditions at Dee Why. Wind was coming lightly from the SE and not surprisingly was making the surface conditions scrappy looking. The swell at sea was coming from the SE and was 2 metres at 10 seconds apart – which tells me that there should still be the odd solid bomb set in the mix.
Wind should go around to the NE and the swell’s set to decrease steadily toward near flatness by Friday.
We’ll see what the Goat has to say tomorrow, but my quick read of the models makes me think the tiny stuff could continue through Saturday. However it does look as though we might see another dead south pulse in the shoulder high range at the magnets from Sunday into Monday…
Stay safe everyone, take that mask for when you’re indoors and have a great Wednesday.
Weather Situation
A low pressure system to the east of Tasmania continues to move away to the east as an area of high pressure builds over coastal waters. This high then gradually moves northeast on Thursday as a cold front crosses the southern Tasman Seas and a low pressure system develops over Victoria. This developing low moves east on Friday pushing a trough and front northeast over the NSW coast.
