Hello Friends,
Added some pics!
Wind was light westerly this morning at daybreak and swell was showing 1.5 metres from the SSE at a touch under 10 sec. Next tide is a low at 1115. Bureau says the wind will be coming up from the SE and be 10-15 kts under partly cloudy skies with the odd shower likely. I didn’t have time to grab any pics this morning, but can tell you that you may want your fish or mal at most spots with a wave this morning as it’s a bit fat and full and wind-swelly looking. Magnet spots could see the odd chest high wave face, but for the most part I’d expect it to mostly be smaller than that.
Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system south of the Bight is slowly moving east, extending a ridge across southeastern Australia and establishing a southwest to southeast airstream over the coastal waters. During Thursday a low pressure trough will develop over northeastern New South Wales as the high moves east across the southern Tasman Sea and the ridge weakens. The trough is expected to move offshore during Friday and deepen into a low off the north coast before moving away from the coast on Sunday.
