Hello Friends,
Wind pushing along at 20-25 kts from the WNW as the day got started and, according to the MHL Sydney buoy, there’s not a hint of swell.
That wind is set to ramp up into the 25-40 kt range later, so no hope of a wave today in Sydney I’d say.
Outlook according to the swell prediction models is for it to be flat for a few days yet but maybe things will turn around for us mid next week…
Have yourself a great Tuesday!
Weather Situation
A cold front crossed southern and central coastal waters late yesterday and overnight and will move through northern waters this morning. An intense low pressure system west of Tasmania is expected to move east/northeast through Bass Strait today resulting in gale force winds for southern and central parts of the NSW coast, particularly this afternoon and evening. A trough will cross southern and central parts of the coast on Wednesday as a deep low well to the south of Tasmania moves slowly to the southeast. Further cold fronts are likely to affect NSW coastal waters during the remainder of the week.
