Looking flat on Friday morning

Hello Friends,

Clear skies and chilly NW wind as Friday kicked off. There’s a gale warning for the Sydney coast, so the wind’s going to pick up into the 25-30 kt range as the day goes along. As the pictures show, there’s really no swell to speak of at Dee Why.
At 0500 the MHL buoy was picking up less than a metre of 10-sec ESE bump. The strong wind isn’t going to help at all so I don’t think there’ll be too many waves being caught today. Tomorrow looks a lot more interesting as indeed does the coming week. The Goat’s forecast landed last night. It makes for interesting reading – and not just for the forecast!
A head’s up that I’ll be scampering off to California on Tuesday, so expect a regular stream of postcards along with my usual over the horizon summaries of the Sydney surf prospects.
Have yourself a top old Friday!

Weather Situation
Westerly winds will strengthen along the New South Wales coast ahead of a vigorous southwesterly change associated with a cold front expected to cross the far south coast this morning and extend to the far north coast in the evening. Winds will reach gale force strength at times today then ease gradually during Saturday as a high pressure system moves over southeastern Australia and extends a ridge to the northern Tasman Sea.
