Surfless start to Sunday at Dee Why
Hello Friends,
Cloudy skies and a lazy 8-11 kt SSE breeze greeted earlier-risers along the Beaches this morning. Out at sea the MHL buoy was detecting 1.3 metres of 9-second south swell but it didn’t appear to be making any impression at Dee Why proper. There were little lines further up the beach, so I’d expect better exposures to be seeing the occasional waist high bump.
Happily, the swell models are still showing an uptick for Tuesday morning. The weather looks like being grey and showery tomorrow, but Tuesday could be partly cloudy with wind from the NW and ENE swell getting into the 2 metre range.
Have a top old Sunday everyone!

Weather Situation
A weak trough brushing the northern half of the coast is bringing a brief south to southeasterly wind change. Winds will turn north to northeasterly and freshen later this weekend through early next week. Then, a cold front is forecast to cross the coastal waters on Tuesday, with a fresh and gusty westerly wind change in its wake.
