Hello Friends,
Lightly drizzling at daybreak. Out at the Sydney buoy there as about a metre of SE swell with an average period of close to 14 seconds. Tide was heading to a high at 0750 and there was only a faint WNW breeze. Surf? You want surf? Well… naw… there was really next to nothing doing. And, sadly, there’s no real prospect of an improvement either.
Wish I had better news folks, but, there it is. We seem to be in for a week of nothing much at all along pretty much the whole east coast according to the models.
There seems to be some hope of a south pulse toward the end of the week, but right now the models are predicting it will be accompanied by heaps of south wind and cool, cloudy conditions.
Have yourself a great Saturday anyway!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the central Tasman Sea is moving east maintaining a ridge to New South Wales north coast. Later on Saturday a low pressure trough will bring west to southwesterly change along the southern half of the coast extending to the far north coast Sunday morning. Behind the change another high will move over the Tasman Sea by Monday.
