Hello Friends,
Sydney woke to a couple metres of straight south swell at close to 11 seconds apart. It doesn’t look like lasting too long though because waverider buoys to the south of us are showing very small to nearly flat conditions. The Bureau’s forecast is calling for the swell to drop steadily toward lunch time and then be back to marginal.
In a rush this am, so back later with a few thoughts…
Weather Situation
A deep low, well to the south of Tasmania is moving slowly to the southeast. A ridge of high pressure extends across the far north of New South Wales from a high centred over South Australia. The high should move to the Tasman Sea on Friday. The next major cold front to affect coastal waters is expected later Saturday.
