Small Sunday but dribble to be had
Posted by: Don on January 6th, 2013Hello Friends,
A textbook summer’s Sunday morning in Sydney. A metre of east swell is flopping in and when I checked it around 0800, the NEr was just starting to pick up. Heaps of folks in the water at Curly, Dee Why and Northy. Dee Why was the worst from a surf perspective, there were more peaks at Curly, but Northy had the slightest of edges in (crowded) quality.
The wind is expected to be a light summery 15-20kt NE’r all day.
Low tide is coming up at 0950 and 1540 will see the high.
Outlook is for the energy levels to stay about the same for the next few days. So, don’t wait for an improvement, just take it for what it is and have yourself some fun!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system is moving towards Tasmania extending a ridge along New South Wales cast behind a cold front crossing the southwestern Tasman Sea. The high will move over the Tasman Sea by Monday and then it will move east maintaining the ridge to the north coast. The next, stronger southerly change is expected to develop on the south coasts later on Tuesday extending to the central and north coasts during Wednesday.
