Not the best looking Monday

Hello Friends,
Looks like I’m not missing a thing in Sydney. Blasting SE wind and plenty of sizable swell (3 metres, from the SE at 8 seconds) with the odd burst of rain. What a day you’re having. Dark over on my part of the planet. And pretty near flat too.
Tomorrow is supposed to see a decreasing southerly, with maybe a hope of a wave in the middle part of the day before the wind goes NE. Depends on how fast the swell drops back after today’s craziness.
Not a great looking forecast for Sydney across the rest of the week. My hopes of something worth getting wet in on my return day (Friday) look marginal. Basically it appears that the wind will stay south-ish for another week or so. Mind you, having not surfed for weeks due to the situation, I may just jump in anyway.
Go well with your evening!

Weather Situation
A strengthening high pressure system over the Bight moves slowly to the east over the next few days extending an east to southeasterly airstream over coastal NSW. In the far northeast a low pressure system is expected to intensify and move down the NSW coast later today and into Tuesday as the high moves southeast of Tasmania, steering the low to the South Coast later on Tuesday and the Bass Strait on Wednesday.
