Hello Friends,
Well, what can ya say? Sorry not to get around to a report earlier, but I was actually away from a computer this morning. But not because I was surfing, sadly. There were some very small waves around when I finally had a good look around midday. However, you’d really need to be keen because the biggest sets were struggling to make the waist high mark at Longy and Northy wehre I checked. And the dribbly onshore wasn’t improving the attraction quotient either.
Never mind! The models are continuing to hold out hopes of a significant pulse arriving in the Sydney region from around about Thursday. If it plays out in the way the latest run suggest it might, we could see head high plus by Thursday afternoon and then a steady ramp into the really big range across Friday and into Saturday (could get to 3x overhead at exposed spots). The very long range call is showing solid swell continuing into early next week.
The good thing is that the Bureau’s calling for winds out of the westerly quarters and mostly sunny conditions for Thr-Fri with cloud and light winds for Saturday.
On that note, have yourself a good Sunday arvo!
Weather Situation
A high pressure ridge is centred over coastal New South Wales maintaining generally light winds early, before turning northeasterly and increasing in the afternoon. A trough is expected to cross the state during Monday and Tuesday as the high moves away, before a low deepens off the southern coast later on Tuesday. Winds during this time are likely to increase, with the direction dependant on the development and position of the low.
