Hello Friends,
Beautiful day, shame about the utter lack of waves. At 0500 the MHL buoy was detecting only 0.8 metres of 9-second ESE swell. Water temp out at the buoy is a toasty 23C. Sadly, in combination with a 1.9 metre high tide at 0900, the on-beach matters are barely worthy of comment. If you can find a wave this morning, I tips me lid to ya.
As is customary on a Friday morning, the astonishingly reliable Goat has investigated the guts and cast the runes for us. You’ll find his ruminations below and as always, I commend them to you.
Have a great Friday everyone and let’s hope the south change somehow creates something for us this weekend…
Weather Situation
A cold front over the western parts of New South Wales will reach the far south coast early today bringing a southerly change. This southerly change will move along the coast during the day, reaching the far north early Saturday. A high moving through Bass Strait in the wake of the front should be over the southern Tasman Sea over the weekend. Southeast winds on Saturday will tend back to the northeast in the south later Saturday and over the remainder on Sunday as the high moves further east.
Forecast for Friday until midnight
