Hello Friends,
Swell energy levels are down noticeably compared to this time yesterday. But the day’s starting out with glassy conditions and the knee to waist high little peelers are definitely rideable.
According to the MHL data from 0500, the 1.2 metre swell is coming from the SSE at 8 seconds apart. Tide was dropping to the low at 0900 when I wrote this.
Outlook is for another sunny day with a northerly breeze picking up soon and getting into the 10-15kt range by lunch time.
From the shape of the forecast models we’re in for smaller still tomorrow though to Wednesday or Thursday when the southerly kicks up – and then keeps kicking into the weekend.
Have yourself a happy Monday everyone and keep on smilin’!
Weather Situation
A complex low pressure system is moving over western the Tasman Sea. . Variable winds along the New South Wales coast will gradually turn southerly from the south during Tuesday as the low moves further east and a high pressure system south of the Bight extends a ridge behind it. The high is expected to move very slowly east over the next few days strengthening the ridge along the coast.
