Hello Friends,
Clear skies, lightly offshore but only knee to waist high little remnant wind waves coming in at the moment. Wind’s going SE’ly this afternoon and as that happens, the swell should perk from the south. As of 0200 the MHL data was showing a metre of 7 sec period NE wind bump. So you’ll be struggling to find much of anything worthy this morning I’d have thought.
Swell’s going to ramp overnight, but tomorrow morning will likely be southerly from early. Maybe we’ll get lucky and there’ll be something of interest in south corners for the early. Tide’ll be low about 0745 on Tuesday. It’ll be grey, showery and cool though.
Rest of the week looks pretty ho-hum at this point. Onshore and small seems to be the prospect according to the modelling. Mornings will be the best shot I’d say.
Have yourself a great Monday!

During Tuesday a strong high pressure system will move towards Tasmania extending a ridge to the northern Tasman Sea behind the change. This high is expected to move over the southwestern Tasman on Wednesday and become slow-moving strengthening the ridge to the north coast.
