Hello Friends,
Don’t know about my fellow Sydneysiders, but I’ve had enough of the heat now thanks. Bring on that lunchtime south change. There is a tiny trickle of easterly windswell making its feeble way in from the dull horizon. There was only a breath of wind before 0900, but the Bureau says the wind should pick up, first from the NW then around to the SW and finally settling into the south – where it looks like staying more or less for a few days at least.
Given that the wind should be in the 20-30kt range following the change, I’m not too hopeful that we’ll get much quality. You’ll want to be keen I’d say.
If you like hunting down sections in the teeth of a southerly, then Monday morning may keep you amused. From the look of the latest wave models, it seems that we might get a short lived but potentially long period and therefore solid south pulse on Wednesday. Weather may be kind of ordinary (showery) and the wind is set to be s-se around the 10-15kt range.
Have yourself a great Sunday!
