Hello Friends,
Election eve and it’s micro. Worse, the models continue to call for minor to flat conditions for the next week – at least.
Has spring sprung on us a little early?
There are still big low pressure systems in the southern ocean but they’re being resolutely bounced away from us by the persistent high pressure systems that dominate our weather this time of year.
The latest data from the MHL buoy off Sydney is showing about a metre of 6 second period south windswell. If you can find some way to extract a wave or two from such a paltry offering, my hat’s off to you!
An inspection of the WAMs shows there is a slight chance of a just barely surfable south bump around lunchtime on Sunday. But right now, that’s pretty much it for the Sydney region (and the rest of the east coast) as far as I can tell.
Have yourself a top old Friday and get up to some good where you can!
