Hello Friends,
We had a line-y little south swell making itself felt at the magnets this morning. At 0600 the MHL buoy recorded 1.5 metres of 8.7-second energy from 172° which, at Dee Why, looked to be in the waist to chest high range on sets. The period’s too short to really wrap around the point, so you’ll be looking for a peak along the beach at your go-to south magnet. Tide was filling into the high at 1115 when I grabbed the snaps around 0730. Weather call is for mostly sunny and a high of 21. The wind was WNW at 7-10 kts as the day got started. The Bureau tells us that it’ll pick up a bit and go more north as the day goes along. At the same time we can expect the swell to fade as we head toward what looks like being a very small Tuesday. That said, it seems that a fresh south pulse is likely for late Wednesday, so that’s good.
Go well with your Monday!
Southwesterly winds will turn northerly across most coastal areas on today as a high pressure system reaches the Tasman Sea. On Tuesday, north to northwesterly winds are expected to freshen ahead of a cold front. This front will bring a strong southerly change to the southern waters later Tuesday which will weaken as it spreads north on Wednesday.
