Yeah, nah for surf but it’s a beautiful day
Hello Friends,
No surf at Dee Why this morning. Out at sea as of 0700 swell was 0.9 metres from the SSE at close to 12 seconds, so well-aligned south magnets might be just barely into the catchable range. If you’re thinking of going for a swim or paddle, Beachwatch says pollution is unlikely and water is now 18C.
The swell models continue to tell us that our next swell should start filling in overnight tomorrow and Tuesday looks like being solidly into the head plus range at south magnets on what should be a sunny with SW wind. Tide will be a moderate 1.4 m high at 0830 Tuesday am, so you may want to circle the date on your calendar. The models show the swell and fine weather conditions again for Wednesday.
Have a great Sunday everyone!
