Hello Friends,

Not a good look for surfing in Sydney. Grey, lowering skies with on again off again rain and 18-22 kts of SSE wind are not providing the best arena for the 2-3 metres of 8 second period south swell.

Outlook is for unrelenting onshores for the next three days.

Sigh.

Some of the swell modelling this morning is pointing toward something potentially happening at the weekend. The onshores might back off a touch so that we can get a little cleanness to play with…

Anyway, have yourself a great Tuesday and keep on smilin’!

 

 

Weather Situation
A high pressure system near New Zealand is weakening while a low moves across the southern Tasman Sea. This low is associated with a trough extending over northeast New South Wales, which has brought a southerly change to the southern and central coasts. The trough is expected to remain near the northern coast during the next day or two, becoming detached from the Tasman low as a high moves eastwards from the Bight.
