Waves to be had on Weds morning
Hello Friends,
As of 0700 Dee Why looked to be in the waist to maybe chest-high range. The beach was more consistent than the point, but the low-percentage banks continue to be a challenge. Wind was coming lightly from the west under mostly cloudy skies. Out at sea, the east swell has dialled back to a metre at just 8 seconds. Tide was low at 0710 and by the time it gets back to the modest 1.2 m high at 1300, we should have a 10-15 kt NE wind doing its thing.
Outlook is for the swell to stay around the current intensity, if that’s the right word, through Friday and then maybe begin to come back up a bit on Saturday as a more vigorous east pulse starts to build toward – potentially – something quite interesting on Sunday…
Go well with your day!
Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system over the Tasman Sea is extending a ridge towards eastern parts of the state, directing an east to northeasterly airstream along the coast. Winds along the southern and central parts of the coast will turn north to northeasterly over the next few days ahead of an approaching cold front that looks set to cross the southern half of the coast on Saturday.
