Hello Friends,
No significant change to conditions this morning. Swell is out of the south at under a metre with an average period of close to 14 seconds. You might find a knee high something at a more exposed spot, but the earlier you go the better because tide’s coming into a high at 1130 and I can’t see that helping anything.
We’re in for a warm one too. The record hottest day for July is currently 25.9, so we could come close to breaking that if the Bureau’s forecast is right.
Gotta run, so have yourself a good one… it looks like next week could be a real improvement to these conditions!
Weather Situation
A ridge of high pressure lies across northern New South Wales, while a series of cold fronts are moving from the Southern Ocean across southeast Australia. This pattern is generating a vigorous westerly airstream over southern and central parts of the New South Wales coast, which will intensify today as a stronger cold front approaches. This front will reach the southern coast in the evening, continuing through remaining areas on Friday, with windy conditions remaining until later on the weekend when the next high pressure system becomes established.
