Quiet Sunday morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends,
There was around 2 metres of 10-sec period swell out at sea as of 0800, but it was dead south and, with westerly winds having blown all yesterday and overnight, the energy just wasn’t getting into Dee Why. But there will be any number of south magnets picking it up elsewhere. The best spots should be in the waist to chest plus range with the odd bigger one turning up every now and then. Clear skies, a high of 22 and offshore wind is on the cards for the rest of the day too. The first tide of the daylight hours is a high at 1035 and then it’ll run out to the low at 1615.
There might be a few scraps at the magnets tomorrow, but then it looks like the options will diminish for a few days before possibly coming back up a little on Wednesday.
Go well with your Sunday!
Weather Situation
Southwesterly winds are easing as a high pressure system near South Australia gradually moves east, extending a ridge towards northern New South Wales. By Monday, the high should be over the Tasman Sea, with winds shifting northerly in most coastal areas. The next cold front is forecast to bring a south to southwesterly change later Tuesday or Wednesday.
