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

Looking micro in Sydney

Hello Friends,

Greetings from country Victoria where your correspondent is currently heading south to Bells. Should get there about midday, which will be when they make the call to start the day’s heats – or not. If possible I’ll post some pictures.

As for Sydney, the MHL buoy is showing 1.3 metre SSW wind bump at 7 seconds and the BoM says wind as of 0800 is light south. High tide is peaking at a swampy 1.8 metres. Wind should stay light and variable and apparent swell direction should be east – but gutless and tiny.

As for the outlook, well it’s Friday, so the Goat has rolled out a fresh forecast to have with your hot cross buns this morning!

Have a good Good Friday everybody.

 

Good Friday, Rutherglen 

Weather Situation

A trough along the coast will decay today as a high pressure system near Tasmania strengthens a ridge across the area, directing south to southeasterly winds before tending northeasterly in the south later today. Little change is expected to this pattern until a cold front skims southeast Australia on Monday, resulting in a southerly change along the southern half of the coast.
