Sunday morning waves

Hello Friends,

Fun looking conditions at Dee Why this morning with waves along the beach and at the point. Wind was light west as of 0830 and swell was 1.7 metres at 9 seconds from the ESE. Tide will be low at 1045 and then back to high at 1730. There’s a 50% chance of a shower at some point, but it was mostly sunny as the day kicked off. Water quality is good at most places but Beachwatch cautioned about Northy, Collaroy, Longy and north Curly.

Outlook is for conditions to remain around the current settings through to Wednesday morning – at least.

Go well!

 

Weather Situation

A high pressure system near New Zealand extends extends a ridge into New South Wales today, while a low pressure system moves away from Australia across the Tasman Sea. This ridge will become the dominant feature during the next couple of days, promoting generally lighter winds over the water, although a significant swell will linger. A cold front is forecast to bring a gusty westerly change to coastal New South Wales during Tuesday, with a second cold front set to arrive near the end of the week.
