Hello Friends,
Looks like a breezy sort of day coming up. The Bureau is calling for NW 15 -25kts, turning W 20-25 kts. Sadly, we don’t have a strong winter swell to deal with it. Instead we’re looking at 7 second period NE wind swell of about a metre. Very summery looking on that front.
It looks as though your best shot is to hunt down a soft little peak this morning as the tide drops and before the wind gets up to speed.
It’s looking like the Goat’s call is pretty much right on. The models this morning are projecting conditions to remain similar to this morning’s for most of the coming week. There is some hope for a brief upward bump late in the week but it’s not currently looking like being much above chest to shoulder even then.
Maybe next week…
Aw well, have yourself a top old Saturday anyway!
Tides: H @0540 L @1130
Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system near New Zealand extends a ridge into southeast Queensland, while a deep low south of Tasmania is moving steadily east. Vigorous northwesterly winds are being generated between these systems as a trough and cold front approach from the west. Conditions are expected to remain fresh and gusty in many areas during the weekend, assisted by the development of another low to the east of Tasmania during Sunday.
