Hello Friends,
Sunny skies and light SW breeze at 0715 when I climbed aloft to the RealSurf crows nest to grab a few snaps for your good self. As you can see, it’s down noticeably from this time yesterday. I’d call the point knee high and the beach knee to maybe waist and a bit. And the Bureau says it should drop a little more too. As of 0600 the MHL buoy was detecting a metre from 165° (SSE) at 13.8 sec. Tide was coming in from the 0530 low as it heads to a 1.4 m high at 1135.
Should be a partly cloudy day with a high of 25 and wind should go to the north at 10-15 kts. Water is getting cooler now and is currently around the 20° mark.
And the outlook? Well it’s Friday morning, so we have a piping hot fresh forecast from the Goat to answer your every question.
Have yourself a top old Friday everyone!
Weather Situation
A slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge towards the New South Wales north coast, while a weak southerly change is expected to reach the far north coast early tomorrow. Winds will slowly turn southeast to northeasterly along New South Wales waters over the next couple of days as the high lingers in the region, while a low pressure trough is expected to develop off the northern coast and deepen over the weekend.
