Hello Friends,
Clean little lines coming from the south this morning but it’s only just big enough to make the point surfable and up the beach toward Longy the size is similar (knee to waist) but the shutdowns are frequent.
The MHL buoy’s 0500 observations recorded 1.75 metres of 9-second SSE swell and the North Head weather station was showing 6-8 kts of westerly breeze at 0730.
Should be sunny all day and the wind should okay until mid day when the Bureau says we can expect a southerly to turn up. Next tide is a high at 1015.
The models offer a mixed picture for our near-term prospects, but overall the trend lines generally point to a steady decline into the really marginal to near flat range as we head into the weekend. At least a couple of the predictions show tomorrow morning as a prospect for the early. The Bureau says the wind’ll still be south, so here’s hoping for an early morning reprieve and a few more bumps in the waist high range at the south magnets.
Go well with your day and keep on smilin’!
Weather Situation
A low pressure system near New Zealand and a high pressure system centred near Adelaide are both slowly moving east. These two systems will direct generally southerly winds across New South Wales waters today. Winds will shift northeasterly during Thursday as the high moves over the western Tasman Sea. A southerly change is expected to move up southern and central parts of the coast on Friday and Saturday.
