"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Waiting on Huey

Hello Friends,

Wan sunlight and mostly cloudy skies as Tuesday got started. But the rain is coming. As I write this the radio is reporting heavy falls way down south along the border. We might have a thunderstorm or two later today, but from tomorrow through Friday morning, the call is for that rain to be heavy at times. At the same time, we’ll be treated to a run of mainly southerly winds. Sadly, it doesn’t looks as though we’ll get anything too remarkable on the wave front.

Current reckoning from the computer models is that Sydney will see some size on Saturday morning, but it’ll be windy and messy and the water will be well and truly foul.

I’m hoping that come Sunday morning, we’ll have slightly better conditions and a little fading swell to play with.

In the meantime, my best wishes for your day!

Associated with this system, a southerly wind change will move up the southern half of the coast on Tuesday, bringing a gusty change to districts south of Sydney during the afternoon. On Wednesday this wind change will progress further north. On Thursday a low may develop off the Illawarra or South Coast.
