Hello Friends,
Interesting. There was a waist high peak at Kiddies around 0730 this morning. For the first time in many days, there was a proper crowd on it too. A couple people were at the point as well, but I didn’t see them catch anything. The MHL buoy isn’t looking special either. As of 0500 it was seeing a metre of 9-second swell from the SSE (160°). Tide was filling into a swampy 1.8 m high at 1010. Water temp is sitting on 24C according to Beachwatch – which is reporting everywhere apart from Long Reef as having good water quality.
The Goat’s forecast is up, so I’ll confine myself to observing that I’m a bit more hopeful about next week too…
Weather Situation
A broad trough of low pressure is lingering over the western Tasman Sea, directing generally southerly winds along the New South Wales coast. Winds should shift northerly later today and on Saturday as the trough weakens and is replaced by a weak ridge. A brief southerly change will affect southern parts of the coast during Sunday. The next cold front looks set to bring a more significant southerly change through southern waters on Monday, continuing through to the north on Tuesday.
