Surfless Saturday morning at Dee Why
Hello Friends,
Swell is less than a metre and pretty much dead south this morning and Dee Why looks like a lake. There isn’t any real prospect of an improvement today and tomorrow’s not shaping to be significantly better. The ECM model is showing some longer period, dead south component for Monday, but swell heights are not predicted to be above the metre mark, so the only hope is for some barely surfable bumps at south magnets. The remainder of the week is currently looking very low energy as well. Here’s hoping that changes…
Have yourself a great Saturday everyone!
Weather Situation
A ridge of high pressure lies across much of the Tasman Sea, while a cold front is moving across the southern Tasman Sea. A trough extending from the front is forecast to brush the south coast today before moving off the coast on Sunday. Winds will tend east to northeasterly on Sunday and early in the new week as another high pressure system crossing Tasmania this weekend heads to the southern Tasman Sea while extending a ridge towards the north coast. Then the next cold front looks set to bring a coastal southerly change in the latter part of the next week.
