Hello Friends,
Cloudy, grey and the first of a couple warm days for Sydney. Alas, the wave situation has not improved since yesterday. The metre or so of 9 second period SSE swell is producing knee to waist high sets at exposed spots such as North Curly. There were a few bods in the water and the wind was not a factor for the early, but the swell is quite inconsistent, so waiting around is the order of the morning.
Looking at this morning’s run of the forecast models reveals that the super computers are still showing short odds for a boost to energy levels on Wednesday There could be some 3 metre south swell with a useful 9-10sec period, but the wind is set to be onshore all day according to the Bureau. Protected south corners look to be the best bet at this stage.
Although the Wednesday pulse is expected to fade quickly, I’m hoping it won’t come back to the micro conditions of today (and tomorrow probably).
As always, we shall see…
Go well with your Monday!
TIDES: H @0600, L @1300
Weather Situation
A high pressure system north of New Zealand extends a ridge to southern Queensland, while another ridge lies over Bass Strait. Between these systems, a broad trough of low pressure lies across southern and central parts of the New South Wales coast. A southerly change is expected to push the trough north during Tuesday, with a ridge building across the south. This pattern then looks set to remain relatively unchanged through to the end of the week, when another high strengthens from the west and the next significant southerly change affects the region.Forecast for Monday until midnight
