Hello Friends,
Light NW wind early and heaps of SE swell ensured that the water was very busy before 0700 when I took the pictures. Sets look to be into the head high range with the odd bigger one. Happily for the crowd, it also seems to be very consistent. The MHL buoy was showing 2.3 metres of 10-sec SE swell as of 0600. Tide was coming into the 1.45m high at 1015.
It should be sunny and mild today with the wind moving from the SW to southerly, but it should be pretty light when it does.
As for the week ahead, well, I’m liking and agreeing with the Goat’s forecast.
Take it easy and be patient – your wave will come!
Weather Situation
A high over the Bight extends a ridge along the coast and is bringing south to southeast winds to the coastal waters. These winds will strengthen over the southern waters later today as a cold front slips away to the south of New South Wales. The high is expected to move over the Tasman Sea during the weekend.
