"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Murky and micro morning

Hello Friends,
Heavy overcast and light WSW wind as Thursday kicked off. A very faint wind bump is dribbling in from the south, but as far as Dee Why’s concerned, it’s too weak and tiny to catch. Swell is about a metre out at sea, but it’s dead south and only 5-6 seconds apart. Could be a good day for the Garden if we get the showers as expected, but surfin’ is off the agenda for today.
Wind is set to go southerly tomorrow and that ought to chase the swell up, but I don’t like our chances for anything much in the way of quality. I wonder if the Goat will have a different view…
Have a top old Thursday and take the brolly!

Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system over the southern inland of New South Wales extends a trough to central parts of the coast. Winds today will tend south to southeasterly south of the trough, and northerly to its north. The low pressure is forecast to move east, reaching the Tasman Sea overnight, and causing winds to shift south to southeasterly throughout during Friday. A ridge will briefly develop in the wake of the low, ahead of a return to northerly winds on the weekend ahead of an approaching front.
