Surf forecast issued Thursday 28 April 2011 for Sydney:
Grandson Josh: Pa why are you cranky today?
Pa: I’m not cranky mate. We’re having fun.
Josh: Daddy said this morning you’d be cranky today (with the wind, the surf, the rain showers etc).
>>>But I wasn’t cranky because I was expecting it ….
– so neither should you – cause there’s more lousy weather and lousy surf to come!>>>
The Bureau has a warning for tomorrow through to Monday:
“Dangerous surf conditions, hazardous for coastal activities such as swimming, surfing and rock fishing, are expected.”
Having seen from Newport to Palmie today, I can only add it’s not currently huge but the wind is swinging around onshore or South/South East, the waves are messy, what’s on offer isn’t worth it – and there’s an additional warning of possible increased local shark activity from the Newport to Palm Beach area, due to the whale carcass that’s been washed up on the rocks at North Newport and the pieces of blubber flaoting in the ocean! …That’s apart from the ordinary water quality from runoff anyway after all the rain we’ve had… Might be time to visit a museum or something – instead of surfing…
Looks to me like conditions might should start to improve around Tuesday – when I’m back at work! … But I’m not cranky.
Surf outlook:
Friday: in the 2-3 metre range East South East. with rubbish wind conditions
Saturday: 2-3 metres East South East. with rubbish wind conditions – Go Avalon Beach IRBs in the first competiton this season at North Narrabeen – won’t be pleasant but have fun! No prob for surfers – won’t be anyone out
Sunday: 2-3, 3-4 metres East. with rubbish wind conditions
Monday: about 4 metres or more . with rubbish wind conditions. maybe ok in the morning for a bit
