Hello Friends,
An unusual combination of NW wind and rain this morning in Sydney. There’s a south change due later today, so if you don’t mind the gloomy skies and a lacklustre but not entirely hopeless little south east wind swell, you’ll probably be able to find yourself a plausible reason to get in the water. I think I might just keep an eye on the cricket today and leave it to the keen.
Might check in with a few thoughts on the outlook later…
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge to the New South Wales mid-north coast, while a trough lies offshore to the north. The high will continue drifting towards New Zealand on Sunday, allowing a low pressure trough and associated cold front to bring a gusty southerly change to southern and central parts of the New South Wales coast. This change will continue to the north coast during Monday, with conditions easing by Tuesday as the next high moves over the region from the west.
Forecast for Sunday until midnight
Winds: Northeast to northwesterly 10 to 20 knots ahead of a 20 to 30 knots southerly change in the evening. Seas: 1 to 1.5 metres rising to 2 to 3 metres with the change. Swell: Southeasterly 1.5 metres tending easterly 1 metre from the morning. Scattered thunderstorms.
Forecast for Monday
Winds: Southerly 15 to 25 knots, reaching 30 knots at times. Seas: Up to 3 metres. Swell: Southeasterly 1.5 metres tending southerly late in the evening. The chance of thunderstorms early in the morning, mainly offshore.
Forecast for Tuesday
Winds: Southerly 15 to 25 knots tending east to southeasterly 10 to 15 knots during the morning then tending east to northeasterly during the evening. Seas: 2 to 3 metres decreasing below 1.5 metres during the morning. Swell: Southerly about 2 metres.
