Hello Friends,

Was hoping for a bit more energy this morning. But instead awoke to discover that we have about a metre of ESE wind dreck which, were it not for an average period of almost 10 seconds, would be totally uncatchable. If you’re keen, Dee Why is delivering knee high with the odd waist. Not much oomph to ‘em, so I’d take the largest and floatiest option in the arsenal.

The first puffs of NE wind were making themselves felt at 0730, so the surface conditions will gradually go downhill at most places.

The Bureau tells us that we should start to see some TC Evan energy from tomorrow. The models reckon around the middle part of the day – ie, right about when the wind goes around to the SE. Blergh. However… south corners could have some sideshore but okay waves if we’re lucky. Of course the tide’ll be high mid-afternoon, so quality will be a juggling act.

The Bureau reckons the energy will last about 72 hours, there should be a few opportunities around the place with any luck.

Go well with your day!

Weather Situation
A broad high pressure ridge over the Tasman Sea is weakening. A southerly change associated with a cold front crossing the southern Tasman Sea will develop on New South Wales far south coast early on Thursday. The change will move along the south and central coasts before weakening on the far north coast on Friday. Following the front another high pressure system is expected to move east of Tasmania later on Friday extending a ridge to north coast.
