Summer surf options on tap this morning
Hello Friends,
As of 0730 the wind was NNE at 7-11 kts and swell out at sea was 1.2 metres at 9 seconds from the east. The wind’s been blowing steadily all night, so as you can see from the pics, the surface conditions were lightly choppy as the day got started. Set wave faces at Dee Why looked to be in the waist to maybe chest high range. Tide was high at 0550 and is currently dropping to the low at 1230. It’ll be back to high at 1815. Water is still 21 and the Bureau tells us to expect a high of 28 along the beaches today.
The earlier you get to the beach, the better because that ol’ NEr will be doing its thing soon.
Tomorrow is looking to be pretty much a copy of today, but from Wednesday we could see the swell energy levels increasing during the morning. The early could be good with light winds and a couple metres of 12-13 sec east swell.
Go well everyone and have a top old Monday!
Weather Situation
Southeast to northeasterly winds will mostly prevail for the next couple of days with a low pressure system moving over the northern Tasman Sea and a high pressure ridge along the New South Wales coast.
