Hello Friends,
Been away from the coast for a few days, hence the lack of reports. This morning sees a steady supply of mixed south and easterly wind swell in the waist to shoulder high range. The south component is packing a 12 second period, so there are going to be interesting opportunities when everything comes together. Wind was still light east at 0900 and tide was heading toward the 0955 0.62 m low.
From the look of the swell models, we should have waves again tomorrow, but smaller and then it could be a week of little, but surfable conditions most mornings in the coming week.
Have a great Saturday!
Weather Situation
A ridge of high pressure extends from south of the Bight to the Tasman Sea and a broad trough of low pressure extends into western New South Wales from a low over the north of the continent. This pattern is directing southeast to northeast winds across the coastal waters and is expected to persist through to next week.
