Overnight fade to small
Hello Friends,
Yesterday evening there was still heaps of swell, but it was pretty torn up by the wind. This morning kicked off with sunny skies, light wind, smooth surface conditions and maybe waist and a bit high sets at Dee Why. As of 0500 the MHL buoy was seeing about 1.5 metres at 9 seconds from the SSE (158°) and wind was out of the west at around 5 kts. There were a few people at the point and others up the beach toward No Mans where yesterday there were a couple of sneaky rip banks doing their thing on the peaking tide. Speaking of tides, the first tide of the daylight hours is a low at 0945. High will be around 1.4 metres at 1600.
The models tell us to expect only tiny to near flat conditions for the next 7 days, so if you can get in this morning…
Set at the point 0715
Plausible bump up the beach toward No Mans
Crowd waiting for something, anything…
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over eastern New South Wales is moving into the Tasman Sea, with winds becoming easterly in the north and northerly in the south today. The high pressure system will contract further east and weaken as a southerly change moves across the coast on Tuesday in association with a cold front that slips to the south. This change will be followed by another high pressure system from the west, with generally stable conditions expected for the remainder of the week as the high becomes the dominant feature over New South Wales.
