Dee Why fading
Hello Friends,
There are waves again this morning, but at least where Dee Why’s concerned, the sets are much smaller and fewer and farther between. Waves at the point were in the waist to chest-ish range and a bit bigger up the beach, but the long period means they’re mostly unmakeable shutdowns. The MHL data from 0500 showed energy coming from the south by SSE with peak periods of 14 second and heights at sea at 1.7 metres. Wind was coming lightly from the NW at 0700, so surface conditions were reasonably clean. It’ll go around to the NE this afternoon as we head to a high of 29. Tide was high at 0525 and will be back to low at 1225. Water is on 24.
From the look of the swell models we should have surf of some sort through Friday before things tail off to marginal, near flat for Saturday.
Go well with your Wednesday!
Weather Situation
Hazardous surf conditions easing on Wednesday as a high moves well into the Tasman and extends a ridge along the New South Wales coast. A cold front is forecast to pass to the south during the midweek, leaving behind a trough over southern coastal waters. The trough will weaken during the latter part of the week as another high pressure system enters the Tasman Sea by Friday and becomes slow moving, with very little change of weather pattern through the weekend and early new week.
