Hello Friends,
A mostly sunny day for Sydney this Tuesday. The marine forecast is calling for NE sea breezes developing during the morning and by late afternoon should be into the 15-20 kt range. Given the metre or so of 7 second period east wind swell, I guess we can hope that it might push up a little something for a scrappy late afternoon session.
On current reckoning, it would seem that we’re in for a week of mainly small wind swell. But the very long range modelling this morning is pointing toward a significant swell event in about a week. Essentially it looks as though we might be in for an intense SE swell/SE wind combo that could last for several days.
Have yourself a top old Tuesday!
