Hello Friends,
Dee Why’s missing out on most of the 1.4 metre, 7-sec dead south wind swell. Better locations should have knee to waist high bumps though. A great morning to go for a paddle though. Sunny skies and 24 C water make for an inviting picture.
We should hear from the Goat later today, so I’m hoping he sees something that I don’t in the near term swell forecast data. To me it looks like being marginal to near flat into the front half of next week.
Have a great day,; the waves always return, we just need to wait.

A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea currently extends a ridge into northeastern New South Wales, directing a northeasterly airstream along the far northern coast, while a coastal trough brings showers and thunderstorms to the mid north coastal fringe. The trough will slowly decay through today as it shifts further north. Another trough and southerly change are forecast to affect the southern half of the coast on the weekend.
