Hello Friends,
In a hurry this morning so just the one pic for now. A rain squall was coming in as I grabbed the picture, so I didn’t get a chance to really watch the conditions for long enough to form a solid impression of what’s going on. The main thing is that as of 0730, wind was still westerly. Swell is around 2 metres from the SSE but average period is only around the 8 second mark. Tide’s dropping to the low at 0940 and it’ll be back to a 1.6 metre high at 1605.
Weather Situation
A low pressure system lies well offshore over the central Tasman Sea while a large ridge of high pressure extends across southern New South Wales. The combination of these systems is directing south to southeasterly winds across New South Wales Waters. Stronger winds are expected for the northern half of the coast until Wednesday, when the low pressure system moves further away to the east. The high pressure ridge is expected to persist for the next several days.
