Hello Friends,
Lightly offshore at 0700 and waist high waves on tap at the point and along the beach thanks to 1.5 metres of 8-sec SSE wind swell. Reasonably busy, as you might expect, but not completely insane. Tide was low at 0655 and will be back to high at 1305.
Wind is expected to come up soon and be out of the east to NE 10-15 kts. So not great, but not terrible either.
Outlook for tomorrow is for more light winds and a mix of SE and E wind swells that should mean something for the early risers. Saturday’s still looking a prospect for the arrival of 10+ sec east swell – along with S-SE wind. I’m hoping the early morning session won’t be too wind affected.
Have yourself a great last day of 2015!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea is moving slowly east, while maintaining a ridge along the New South Wales coast. This pattern will maintain generally southerly winds on the northern coast and northerly winds on the southern coast during the next few days. At the end of the week, a trough is expected to move along the coast, bringing southerly winds to all waters.
