Hello Friends,
Very few surf opportunities around this morning as the tide filled in to the 0900 high. Swell at sea was 1.1 metres at 10 seconds from the east and wind was coming lightly from the WNW. That was translating into mostly flat conditions. But, there were a few little peaks to be had. As the pictures show, the sets at Dee Why beach were into the waist-ish high range (between long, flat lulls it has to be added). Take your floatiest surf toy and you might find a little something to wobble along on.
Outlook for a change to surf prospects remains rather uninspiring on this morning’s swell models. Both the ECMWF and GFS are projecting sub-1 metre swell with average periods bouncing around the 8-second mark for the next week. Wish it was otherwise, but we’re surfers, we know about waiting the lulls out.
Go well everyone!
Forecast issued at 4:25 am EST on Tuesday 6 August 2024.
A low pressure trough over central NSW is forecast to reach the far north coast by late Tuesday, with a southerly wind change in its wake. The trough will be followed by a large high pressure system entering the state’s west. The high will drift across the coast midweek before entering the Tasman Sea by Thursday.
