Hello Friends,
The heavy rains hadn’t arrived when I tapped out these words, but we’re told they’re inbound. It was drizzling when I grabbed this morning’s snap. Not that it matters because there didn’t appear to be anything you could surf. The MHL data is showing only a tiny short-period SE windswell of a metre at only 5 seconds apart for the Sydney region. And it looks as though the same conditions prevail up and down our coast this morning.
This morning’s swell modelling is showing the onshores pushing up potentially reasonable size SE swell by Friday. However the wind will be out of the same direction at 20-30 kts by Friday morning. Throw in the heavy rain, and it sounds like a recipe for pretty ordinary conditions.
Oh well. What can ya do eh?
Keep on smilin’ says I! Go well.
Weather Situation
A weak southerly change will continue moving slowly along the northern parts of the coast today as winds gradually turn southeasterly in a wake of the change. A trough deepening over inland NSW is expected to extend east on Thursday while a low forms just off the central parts of the coast. The low will move east across the Tasman Sea on Friday with a ridge developing along NSW coast and directing fresh southeasterly airstream towards the shore. The ridge will further strengthen on Saturday as a trough deepens again in the west with fresh to strong northeasterlies developing along NSW Coast.
