Hello Friends,
Another sparkling Sydney morning for Saturday. The Bureau says the swell should come up and that the wind should stay offshore while it’s sunny all day. As the morning got started the waves were in the knee to waist plus range on sets at magnets – everywhere else was smaller. Tide was low at 0500 and will be back to highish 1.83 m at 1125. Ocean is on 23C. Swell was 1.7 metres at 8 seconds from the SSE.
Have a great Saturday!
Weather Situation
A slow-moving high pressure system over the eastern Tasman Sea extends a ridge towards the Queensland coast. A strong southerly change located near the Mid North Coast will move northwards into Queensland in the middle of the day.
