Hello Friends,
Swell’s pumping this morning. It’s pretty much straight south and at 0500 was close to 3 metres with a period just under the 12-second mark. The lines were stacked out to sea when I checked for the first time at 0700 and there was a reasonable crew chasing the 1.5x overhead sets. Wind was westerly under partly cloudy skies. Tide was on its way to the high at 0915.
Swell is expected to back off slightly over the next three days and today the wind should get into the 10-15 kt range first from the south to SW and later the east to SE. Water remains suss after all that rain with lots of places still being rated as pollution likely.
The good news is that it looks like we’ll have something in the surfable range here and there right through to next week. Today and tomorrow look about the best from a wind perspective.
I’ll get out and about today, so check back later to see what I turn up. And have yourself a great Wednesday everyone!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system near Tasmania that extends a ridge along the New South Wales coast is expected to weaken during Wednesday as a cold front approaches and slips to the south. Moderate to fresh south to southeasterly winds across New South Wales Waters will correspondingly weaken during Wednesday, and then steadily turn north to northeasterly in coming days as a new high pressure system builds over the region. A southerly change will extend along the New South Wales coast on Friday and Saturday as a cold front and low pressure trough move across the region.
