Hello Friends,
Sydney surfers will need every gram of keen-ness they can muster today. Really, being realistic, you could go for a long paddle 10 metres off the beach without getting your hair wet at most places today. It’s that small.
According to the MHL buoy data, the swell is coming from the south at about a metre and around 7 seconds apart.
It’s good to see the hope of a midweek pulse on this morning’s run of the swell forecast models. It’s been sitting there in the forecasts for some days now, so I’d say the confidence has to be reasonable that it’ll happen. The Bureau, is saying the energy should arrive around midday from the east on Wednesday. Swell height is expected to be around a metre but the period is set to be in the 14-15 second range.
So, could be fun.
In the meantime, build up those brownie points.
Have yourself a top old Monday.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over central Australia is moving east strengthening a ridge across the northern Tasman Sea while a series of cold fronts are crossing to the south.
