Hello Friends
Another day of rest for surfing interests in Sydney. Conditions at most beaches bear a strong resemblance to a lake shore. So, no surfing for us today.
The Goat should be along with a forecast later, so I’ll leave it to him to fill out the details for the week ahead… but just quietly I reckon we’re in for an interesting weekend!
Go well with your day everyone.
A vigorous westerly flow over the waters will gradually become south to southwesterly by the end of the week as a cold front moves north over the Tasman Sea and a ridge of high pressure moves over the state from the west.
