Hello Friends,
Dull skies as the first of September shakes out the kinks and gets going. The BoM says it’ll get cloudier too and by this evening there could be some rain in the mix. There’s almost no energy in the ocean off Sydney at the moment. And unsurprisingly, nothing is showing at Dee Why. According to the latest from the MHL Sydney buoy, it’s around half a metre from the east at about 7 seconds. If it’s any consolation, the other buoys up and down the east coast are basically showing the same thing.
Scanning the current run of the WAMs and the various interpretations of the data, it’s looking as though we’re in for more microness until around Saturday. At that point we might see a little improvement as a small SE pulse arrives. The models are predicting that there will be a dip around Sunday and another small pulse for Monday.
It’s the first day of spring, so I guess we shouldn’t really be terribly surprised at the lacklustre outlook. Tis the season of ordinariness boys and girls. Ah welll…
Might as well keep on smilin’ eh?
Have a top old day!
