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

Heavy fog early

Hello Friends,

Swell peaked last night and looks to be dropping rapidly – not that it much matters. Conditions are extremely messy and junky, plus the water is highly likely to be polluted with run-off. Next tide is a 2.02 m high at 0955.

Will try to add a picture or two when the fog lifts.

Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system to the south of Tasmania extends a ridge into the Tasman Sea, while a trough lies along the New South Wales coast. This pattern is bringing strong and gusty onshore winds to over the southern half of the coast today, reaching gale force at times. Conditions are expected to gradually ease from later part of Monday onwards as the high and trough both weaken.
