Hello Friends,
Not the greatest look this morning. The odd shower is blowing through the northern beaches and judging from the radar, it’s coming down pretty hard south of the airport to Bellambi. Wind is out of the NE to SE at 5-10 kts, but that’s set to change with the Bureau calling for easterlies to build to 20-30 kts. MHL’s Sydney buoy is off the air, but it looks to me like the swell is pretty much lined up with the wind direction and is maybe a metre on average. Period looks short as well.
At this stage there isn’t any real sign of a building swell along our stretch of coast. However, the data from up north indicates that the average heights are starting to move up. Periods are short though, so my hunch is that we probably won’t see much of an increase until tomorrow morning.
Here’s the call from the Bureau:
Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Strong wind warning.
Wednesday until midnight: Wind: E 15/20 knots increasing to 20/30 knotsSea: rising to 2 to 3 metres. Swell: E/SE 1.5 to 2 metres.
Thursday: Wind: E 20/30 knots.Sea: 2 to 3 metres.Swell: NE 2.5 to 3 metres. Dangerous Surf
Friday: Wind: E 20/30 knots.
