Hello Friends,
Showers again on the cards this morning, but worse, the wind is going to be SE at 25-30 knots. There won’t be many options around but if you can find somewhere well protected the fact that there’s also 3 metres of 10 sec SE swell at least gives one hope.
It looks as though there might a more favourable wind regime tomorrow as it swings more to the SW. The water will be pretty ordinary thanks to the run-off though. (After weeks of not much rain, I daresay there’s a fair amount of dreck coming out of the stormwater drains on our beaches)
Tide was high at around 0710 and will be back to low shortly after 1300.
Go well with your Friday everyone!
UPDATE:
Had a look at Brownwater, Whiterock and The Kick around 0830. Unfortunately, despite the wind not being too bad there, the swell is just too scrappy and raw to wrap in properly. There were occasional moments when a wave face looked sort of do-able, but they never lasted. No one out either. Here are a couple pics for you though…
Weather Situation
A low pressure trough near the New South Wales coast is directing a strong to gale force east to southeasterly airstream over the New South Wales coast. Wind will increase further in the north during Friday as a low pressure centre deepens in the trough. A high pressure ridge is then expected to develop across New South Wales on Saturday.
