Long but tiny lines
Hello Friends,
we have a grey start to the day with light breezes from the SW and knee high sets, breaking just off the sand showing at Dee Why. The main energy is coming from the SE but it’s mostly 6-second chop. There are definite longer period lines in the mix and they’re creating the just barely surfable bumps we’re seeing at focal points. Tide’s coming in to the 1110 1.5 metre high as I write this. The weather call is for partly cloudy with a high of 24 and a slight chance of sprinkle.
Surf looks unlikely to improve today nor tomorrow, but maybe on Tuesday we’ll get some waist-plus stuff at south magnets during the daylight hours. Wednesday onward is not looking very interesting on the swell models.
I’ll post a pic or two later, just for the record. Have yourself a top old Sunday!
Weather Situation
South to southwesterly winds with a low pressure trough moving up the northern coast will ease later today as the trough stalls in the far north. Variable winds in the south will tend west to northwesterly and strengthen this afternoon or evening as a front sweeps through Victoria. Meanwhile, north to northwesterly winds will prevail in the far north, north of the trough. The winds tend west to southwesterly about southern and central waters on Monday as the front moves away over the Tasman. The winds then tend north to northeasterly almost everywhere along the coast from late Tuesday as a new low pressure trough approaches from the west.
