NE’r for Christmas eve
Posted by: Don on December 24th, 2009
Hello Friends,
Wow, weather like a bush ballad across much of the country today. Scorchers and torrential rain depending on where you are. 40+ yesterday over here in the Barossa, now it’s overcast but dry, while up north it’s pouring apparently. That rain will be over Sydney by Christmas day.
Today the wind’s supposed to stay NE and pick up as lunchtime approaches. With luck this should push up a little something in the way of late afternoon windswell at those semi-protected spots. There’s not much of any underlying swell, so whatever there is, will be very close together.
Surf outlook remains summery for the week ahead in Sydney. An early south change on Christmas Day doesn’t look likely to do any favours for conditions. Before it arrives you could get lucky at spots exposed to the east.
The weekend’s looking pretty marginal with the best hope being for late afternoon wind waves in the waist high range. And of course there’ll be rain off and on across the period. Oh well, Huey’ll be back again one day soon…
Go well with today’s plans!
