A few waves about this morning

Hello Friends,

Once again the plan for Tuesday is to get to the beach as early in the day as you can. Wind is offshore for the early but by lunchtime, those onshores will be cutting in and trashing any place with south exposure.

Swell is still out of the south at around the two metre mark with an average period of 10 seconds.

High tide in Sydney was around 0700 and low will be around 1245.

Outlook for tomorrow continues to be for a brief pulse as the period gets longer and the swell continues in the two metre range. The problem is that the wind could be out of the easterly quarters, so it might be a case of finding a protected north corner.

Weather Situation from the Australian Bureau of Meterology

A series of lows are passing through the southern Tasman, with associated cold fronts extending northwards towards the NSW coast during the next few days. The fronts will bring southerly changes to the NSW coast on Tuesday and later on Wednesday. A persistent ridge of high pressure over most of NSW will be associated with winds easing on the northern parts of the coast from about midweek.
