Hello Friends,
Just had a look at surf conditions in Sydney a little before 0700 and waves are just about not there. From what I could see, ‘surf’ was in the ankle to knee high range at best. The MHL buoy was seeing a metre at 7 seconds from the SSE and wind was coming lightly from the NNW. Tide was high at 0415 and is dropping to low at 1025. Water temp is around 19C.
The swell models continue to show an influx of easterly swell from tomorrow. It could be into the shoulder high range by dusk on Sunday and then dialling up to head to overhead on Monday at magnets. Throw in a call for W-SW wind, and cool but mostly sunny skies through midweek, and I’d say you’re in for some fun!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system near New Zealand extends a ridge to the north coast, directing easterly winds along the north coast and northerlies along the south coast. A vigorous cold front is also approaching from the west, causing winds to turn northerly throughout and strengthen in the south. Winds then shift west to southwesterly on Sunday as the front sweeps through.
Forecast for Saturday until midnight
