Hello Friends,
Get out early or get skunked. Super clean and shoulder plus at 0630 under sunny skies thanks to a combo of light SW breeze and two metres of 10-sec SE swell. Weirdly, there were only two people at the point and just a few others scattered up the beach. Did everyone else tie one on last night or something?
Outlook is for the wind to turn southerly 15-20 kts this morning, so you really don’t want to leave it too late. High tide was at 0545 and will be low at 1130.
Swell looks like sticking around into Monday morning, but tomorrow the Bureau’s call is for southerlies early, turning variable late. Swell should still be around the same size though, so not without prospects.
Monday should still see some swell activity and with luck the south wind will be relatively light for the dawn patrol. Tuesday could see it fading right away, but possibly being surfable, and then things look to be into the marginal range for quite a stretch if the models are to be believed.
So get out, catch a few and have yourself a brilliant Saturday!
Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system is centred to the south of New Zealand, while a high is centred over western Victoria. This high will be the dominant feature in the region during the next few days as it drifts slowly east, maintaining a southwest to southeasterly wind flow along most of the New South Wales coast through to Sunday. Early in the new week the high is expected to reach the Tasman Sea, bringing a more northeasterly wind shift to southern and central parts of the coast.
