Hello Friends,
Not the most inviting morning for a surf in Sydney. After a wild, windy and rainy night, it’s settled down a little. Rain continues, though not quite as heavily, and the wind is coming from the SE at 25-35 kts. The swell is dead south at about 2.5 metres on average, but the average period has slumped to 8 seconds. As a consequence, not much energy is getting into the protected corners.
This morning’s forecast from the BoM brings now particular joy. We’re not likely to get away from the southerlies until midweek – when it looks like it might swing to SE winds. Blergh.
Have yourself a good Sunday and may your team win tonight!
Weather Situation
A low pressure system will deepen off the north coast today and should move rapidly away to the northeast later. Behind this system, a high is expected to move towards Tasmania extending a ridge across southeast Australia, with another inland trough entering the far west of the state later in the week.
