Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 June 2018: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Most people seemed to be happy that the weather and waves of the past week have passed by, judging by the number of smiling faces who turned up today at the right tide/time combination, despite the chilly wind. The water temp was fine.
A deceptive little surf. It looked flat to very small early on, then lines started to show, but the waves were still pleasantly sized and quality brushed by the offshore wind…
Until the sets arrived every so often, with a size and punch quite different to the average (after you left Ray).
If you were unfortunate to be under them (tick, more than once) you had a good workout today…which meant some of us had lower than desirable energy levels when more suitable waves came. Those who caught ’em had fun. But all that wasn’t long lasting and by twilight it looked like it had calmed down a lot.
Friday: should have calmed down even more than today, say to about 1 metre or so North East, but there should be a little pulse at times from the East
Saturday: W/NW/N winds will eventually flatten it, but there maybe little NE waves.. (or maybe not)
Sunday: waves out to sea, headed toward NZ, but inshore it’ll be all calm. Disappointing, but you won’t really be disappointed with a 14 max air temp forecast and the windchill keeping that down to an UncomfortableforanAussie level
Monday: what happens from here depends on what a Low expected to form down south does…possibly starting some SW swell. Got that? SW swell_ not much happening inshore at first… then building up later through the day, and into the night while you’re asleep
Tuesday: Depending on the Low… could be in the 2-3 metre range , or more, at places open to dead South swell… with wind (or not, if it goes somewhere else)
Wednesday: Ditto proviso… maybe 2-3 metres South East, with wind
Thursday: could be similar South East, with some punchy sets.
The whales have started up again in earnest after the rough conditions… saw 9 today, between 5-15 ks out and moving along, keen to get to their holiday up north.
