Hello Friends,
Running around this morning revealed nothing more than what the others have already reported. It’s just awful – not to put too fine a point on it.
As of 0915 this morning the wind was out of the SE at 10-25 kts depending upon where you’re standing. That’s consistent with the Bureau’s call which is as follows:
Friday until midnight: Wind: E/SE 15/20 knots reaching 20/25 knots at times. Sea: 1.5 to 2 metres. Swell: SE 2 to 3 metres decreasing.
Saturday: Wind: E/SE 15/20 knots reaching 20/25 knots at times. Sea: 1.5 to 2 metres. Swell: SE increasing to 2 to 3 metres.
The MHL Sydney buoy is showing a couple metres of SE windswell running at about 8 seconds apart. There is some longer period stuff in the mix of up to 10 seconds and out at sea the chop on top of the swell is getting up to 5 metres.
A quick glance at the forecast models suggest that we’re into a SE to ESE pattern for the next week. Conforming to the Bureau’s call, they reckon we’re set for pretty strong SE wind all weekend. And we’ll have rain periods to make it extra specially nice.
Anyway, have yourself a good one and go well with your day.
