Hello Friends,
As anticipated by the swell models, it’s come up. But then so has the SE wind. It was in the 15-20 kt range so, as you can see from the pic, surface conditions were pretty junky. Swell is around the 2 metre mark off Sydney and as you might expect, it’s coming from the same direction as the wind at about 7 seconds apart.
It’s too scrappy to do anything at the point, but if you were extra keen, you might be able to get the odd waist to chest high bomb in the beachy. Tide was high at about 0750, so there was a fatness factor as well.
The Bureau says we can expect another shower or two and tomorrow we’ll be back to rain at times for another couple days. Rain — and onshores. Great combo. Well, to be fair, the wind call for Saturday is NW by midday, so we’re in with a chance for Saturday afternoon in north corners.
Have yourself a great Thursday one and all!
Weather Situation
A high is centred to the northeast of New Zealand, and another south of the Bight. A broad trough between these systems will remain over central and northern New South Wales for the next few days, while a possible low may develop today on another trough just off the North Coast. This offshore trough is likely to weaken during Friday as an onshore airstream develops along New South Wales coast. The main inland trough is expected to start moving east on Saturday with onshore winds strengthening in the south, followed by westerlies developing on Sunday in a wake of the trough.
