Real tiny at Dee Why this morning
Hello Friends,
Swell had moved more to the SE as of 0600 when the MHL buoy detected 1.4 metres at 9 second energy from 144 degrees. Wind was coming from the west at 8-10 kts as of 0830. The Bureau says the swell will fade across the middle of the day before starting to come back up a bit by dusk. However, the reason it should come back up is that we’re going to have a potential southerly buster arrive at the same time.
Fortunately the wind is expected to swing from the south overnight to the SW by tomorrow morning, while the swell builds into the 2+ metre range from the south. You’ll want to make an effort to get in because right now the remainder of the week is shaping to be pretty ordinary.
Have yourself a top old Tuesday everyone!
Weather Situation
A cold front and its associated trough are forecast to travel up the coast on Tuesday, bringing a strong and gusty southerly wind change in its wake. Southerly winds will gradually weaken and turn east to northeasterly through midweek as another high pressure system drifts across the state. Then, a trough brushing the southern and central parts of the coast will bring a brief southerly change later in the week.
Forecast for Tuesday until midnight
