Hello Friends,
Nothing to say about the surf options this morning. There aren’t any.
Apart from that, it was a beautiful morning at daybreak with clear skies and no repeat of yesterday’s smoky conditions along the beaches.
Looking at this morning’s swell modelling, there is some divergence between the ECM and Wavewatch models. But both see an influx of swell from the south and east starting around Monday and lasting through Tuesday. It doesn’t look big, but with luck it should be waist plus at magnets and offshore to sideshore. It looks as though the energy fades away until a fresh and stronger south pulse fills in as we approach the weekend. The big question mark will be over the wind… right now it looks like we could get lots of SE with the building swell, so fingers crossed on that front.
Go well with your Saturday everyone!
Weather Situation
A ridge extending to the northern New South Wales coast from a high near New Zealand will bring moderate to fresh north to northwest winds to the central and southern Waters today. These winds will strengthen on Sunday ahead of a cold front that moves through late Sunday and Monday, bringing fresh southwest winds.
