Looking junky
Hello Friends,
No one in the water at Dee Why as of 0800 this morning. Wind was coming faintly from the SSW and the MHL data from 0500 saw 1.4 metres of 13-second period swell coming from the ESE. Despite the solid period number, conditions looked more raw and lumpy than yesterday’s surf.
There doesn’t look like much hope of a significant improvement today, but from tomorrow we could begin to see some evidence of a building east swell. If the swell models have it right, we’re in for solid surf from Wednesday through the weekend – and beyond.
Have a great Monday everyone!
Might be the odd shower about today…

Weather Situation
A weak ridge of high pressure is expected to maintain light to moderate winds from the northeast to southeast, with periods of unsettled weather possible. Winds tend north to northeasterly across the southern coastal waters early next week, with fresher south to southeasterlies possible along the northern coastal waters associated with a low in the southern Coral Sea. Later in the week as the low track into the Southern Tasman and interact with a cold front, a strong and gusty southerly change will push up the coast.
