Hello Friends,
Light SW winds but surface conditions were very messy so the head high sets were looking pretty challenging for the keen crew at the point. It was just too junky to be worth the effort along the beach. Swell’s about 2.5 metres and coming from the east at about 9 seconds apart and tide’s dropping to the low at 1000.
The Bureau tells us that the wind will come around to the SE but it’s not expected to go too hard. Tomorrow should see lighter wind again so I’m hoping the surface conditions will clean up a little overnight. And Friday could be a touch cleaner again – I hope!
For now though, you’re going to need to be very determined.
Have a great Wednesday!
Weather Situation
A low pressure system near New Zealand extends a trough to the southeastern Coral Sea, while a high pressure system over the southwestern Tasman Sea extends a ridge to the New South Wales coast. The combination of these two systems is generating southeasterly winds over coastal waters. Winds will begin to shift north to northeasterly over southern and central waters during Thursday or Friday as the high slowly moves northeast to the central Tasman Sea.
