Hello Friends,
Another grey old morning in Sydney with dribbly bumps for the keen. Wind was light from the north a little before 0800 when I grabbed the pics. It should pick up from the NE later and the wind sell should stay east at about a metre at 8-9 seconds. Next tide is a low at 1000.
The current conditions, more or less, look likely to persist until Thursday when the Bureau tells us we can expect to see a south change which ought to bump up the wave heights a bit. Unfortunately the models show the wind staying onshore from the SSE through Friday, before swinging around to the ENE for the weekend. The long range models are showing a similar pattern of marginal mostly onshore conditions well into next week.
Have yourself a top old Tuesday one and all!
