Hello again Friends,
Looks as though there’s a hint of energy left in the ocean this afternoon. Nothing too fabo, but south magnet spots should be producing the odd knee to waist plus wave face. Wind was kinda chopping up the surface though. The MHL buoy off Sydney was showing 0.9 metre of 9.8-second ESE-SE swell. Next tide is a low at 1850
(BTW, my Doc unveiled the eye (yeesh, looks ‘orrible) and pronounced herself preliminarily pleased. That’ll do me. Still, gotta stay out of the water for a minimum of two weeks. Nice to have the brightness and sharpness though after years of steadily encroaching cataract.)
Go well everyone!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the far northeast of NSW will move further east during the day today as a low moves to the vicinity of western Bass Strait and an associated cold front crosses western New South Wales later today. The front and low are expected to move further east over the weekend, with winds shifting southwesterly in southern parts of the coast during Saturday, and central and northern parts of the coast on Sunday. A ridge will develop over NSW following this low.
