Hello Friends,
I’d stay in bed if you’re up early!
20 knots of ESE wind making a complete hash of the ocean for us this morning in Sydney. I very much doubt that there is anywhere out of the wind that also has waves.
Swell at sea is around the 2.5 metre mark. It’s coming from the ESE at about 8 seconds apart. Were it not for the wind, that would be a reasonable set of numbers for lots of places along our fair city’s shores.
The Bureau’s latest marine forecast is not encouraging in the slightest:
Wind: E/SE 15/20 knots reaching 20/25 knots at times. Sea: 1.5 to 2 metres. Swell: SE 1. 5 to 2 metres increasing to E 2 to 2.5 metres.
Sunday: Wind: E/SE 20/30 knots.Sea: 2 to 3 metres. Swell: E/NE 2 to 3 metres.
Monday: Wind: SE 25/35 knots.
Gee, isn’t that nice? Strong SE today, getting stronger tomorrow, and stronger again on Monday.
The models are currently showing the SE’ly windswell pushing up from the present size to upwards of 4 metres by Monday arvo. It’s then likely to gradually decrease as the winds back off very slightly through Tuesday. If the computers have it right, we could see the wind swing back to the south for Wednesday as it heads toward the SW for Thursday.
We’ll be watching Huey’s every move in the meantime, so stay in touch, oh, and go well with your day!
