Smooth as a lake at Dee Why
Hello Friends,
No surf this morning at Dee Why folks. Too bad, as the surface conditions are smooth and the rain hasn’t set in. There is a tiny south swell offshore, so maybe there’ll be a south magnet with a little wave every now and then.
The GFS model is projecting sub-1 metre swell for the rest of the week but the periods bounce around a bit, so we could get a some ok size at south magnets. Unfortunately it’s also showing that the wind will be steadily south to SE into early next week. And of course we’re set to have showery weather across the period too. Here’s hoping for a return to more favourable conditions by mid next week…
Go well!
Weather Situation
A cold front and associated trough is pushing a fresh to strong southerly change northwards along the New South Wales Coast today, reaching the northern border by this evening. Behind this, a high pressure system is expected to strengthen south of the Bight mid-week while moving slowly east, maintaining south to southeasterly winds over coastal waters through to the weekend.
