Small and inconsistent waves
Hello Friends,
Another small but clean morning at Dee Why. Waves looked to be mostly in the knee to waist-high range and as of 0800 the wind was NNW at 4-5 kts. As the day goes along, the wind should settle to the north and get into the 10-15 kt range. Tide was coming in at report time and will hit a 1.78 m high at 1025. The swell out at sea was 1.3 metres at 9 seconds from the SE. Ocean is back up to 24C.
Have a good one and check back later for the Goat’s weekly words of surf wisdom.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea extends a ridge towards the northern New South Wales coast. Meanwhile, a weak low pressure system sits east of the Gippsland coast and moves eastwards into the Tasman Sea over the next few days, with an associated trough bringing a southerly wind change along the New South Wales coast from Thursday, before stalling off the north coast on Saturday. Following this, another high pressure ridge will push into the Tasman Sea bringing a return to easterly winds.
