Cloudless sky morning with tiny waves
Hello Friends,
Wow, not a cloud in the sky when I first checked the beach at 0730. Wind was coming lightly from the NW and out at sea, the east wind swell was barely a metre at 9-seconds. The interval is key, because it meant wave faces on the bigger ones were still in the thigh-high range for the keen crew at Dee Why. Tide is coming in to a pretty swampy 1.85 m high at 1050 but wind should stay offshore all day so you can wait until later if you want. Water quality’s pretty good most places and is still sitting on 19C. Expected high for today is 27C.
Take your floatiest surf option this morning along with an aloha spirit to match the day’s conditions or leave it until later because the wind is supposed to be offshore all day.
Weather Situation
Generally fresh to strong westerly flow following the passage of a trough currently located over the Tasman Sea and will move away to the east today. During the weekend, winds are forecast to ease and then become northerly, increasing again from Sunday as a cold front approaches from the west.
