Hello Friends,
A rather dull sort of morning, but the wind was still light at 0930 and while it was pretty fat thanks to a high tide at 1000, out at sea there was a 1.2 m, 10-second period SE swell which was delivering knee to chest high wave faces at the better exposures. I didn’t see much activity at the point when I grabbed the snap, but looking at some of the cams, I can see there soft but surfable options all over the place. You shouldn’t have to travel far to find something mildly diverting. We should see a mild 23 degree high with a 90% chance of showers toward the end of the day. Water is on 19C.
Weather Situation
A low pressure system to the east of Tasmania is heading to the Tasman Sea, with its associated southerly wind change moving across the southern and central coasts today, reaching the northern coast on Monday. After this winds will gradually turn southeast to northeasterly as a ridge of high pressure develops along the New South Wales coast.
