Dee Why staying micro on Tuesday morning
Hello Friends,
Only a tiny line was showing at Dee Why as Tuesday got underway. But, the Bureau tells us that there could be some sneaker sets as the day goes along. Out at sea the swell was 2.2 metres at 9 seconds from the SE, so the magnets should already be seeing something. Wind was light westerly at 0800. It should drift around to the NE by this afternoon. The tide was high at 0650 and is now dropping to the 1225 low. Weather is set to be sunny but smoke haze will be an issue along the coast this morning, and then inland later.
Tomorrow continues to look like being reasonably solid at south magnets with sunny skies and offshores for the early…
And Thursday-Saturday’s looking okay too!
Go well.
Weather Situation
South to southeasterly winds will gradually tend northeasterly by Tuesday or Wednesday as a strong high pressure system, currently over western Victoria, slowly drifts east and enters the Tasman Sea. The system will continue to be slow moving during the second half of the week while extending a ridge across the state, with northeast to northwesterly winds persisting. Then a brief incursion of southerly wind change may occur along the southern coast during the weekend as a cold front slips to the south.
