Hello Friends,
At 0500 the swell was 4 metres and coming from the S-SSE (160°) at 11 seconds apart.
More words and pics later, just wanted to get these up now…
Low tide 0.63@0915, high 1.48@1600
Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system lies over the southern Tasman Sea, while a high pressure system slowly moves across New South Wales. The combination of these two systems is generating vigorous south to southwesterly winds and a large southerly swell across New South Wales waters. Conditions are expected to ease later today as the low moves towards New Zealand and the high becomes dominant. A low pressure trough is forecast to clip the far south on Tuesday evening, with a more significant system to follow towards the weekend.
