Hello Friends,
Cold, rainy, onshore, small, messy… hmmm… have left anything out?
Wind was SSE for the early, so that didn’t help. And swell was south at a couple metres, but only 7 seconds apart.
Fortunately it looks as though that will change. Batemans Bay buoy is showing the average period ramping up pretty quickly. In that, it’s following the lead from Eden which also zipped up from around 7 to 11 seconds in the space of just a few hours.
The Bureau’s call is for the energy to start showing here this afternoon. I reckon it could be after 3 before the trend really becomes obvious. The SEr is supposed to stick around all day though, so not too sure if it’ll be much good.
Tomorrow on the other hand looks quite promising with light onshores and what promises to be a nice solid south swell.
Go well with your day one and all!

Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system is moving towards the Bass Strait extending a ridge to the northern Tasman Sea while a cold front is moving across the southwestern Tasman Sea bringing southerly change to New South Wales south coast. The change will extend to the north coast during Tuesday as the high moves north of Tasmania strengthening the ridge on the north coast. An offshore trough will be gradually deepening near Queensland border until the middle of the week with an onshore airstream developing along the coast. The high is expected to move slowly towards New Zealand during Thursday and Friday maintaining the ridge to the northeast.
