Late arvo snap for you…
Hello Friends,
Another chilly start to the day’s proceedings in Sydney. But the wind is offshore and we have a couple metres of south swell pushing in. It’s 9 seconds apart on average, so the sets should be into the head high range on the bigger ones at exposed spots. Judging from the buoy data down south, the swell is probably near it’s peak as I write this and is then likely to weaken very gradually across the day.
The wind forecast says it should be southerly but decreasing. However, before 0800 it was W to WNW across the Sydney region’s beaches. Early risers had to put up with the cold to get those offshores. Later arrivals may not be so fortunate as that wind should settle into a southerly by lunch.
Outlook is for a gradual decline overnight to small but not flat for Monday.
Go well!
Offshore and brisk to kick off this morning.
