Hello Friends,

Light SSW wind for the early, so surface conditions were comparatively smooth. But the wind’ll swing southerly soon and that, combined with a 0735 high tide, means the 1.5 metres or so of 8 sec SSE wind swell won’t be producing much of interest.
If you were out early, before the wind kicked in, there were some waist plus options about, but for the most part it was more like knee to waist and rather weak.
Surf outlook isn’t too red hot for the next couple of days but the models are pretty much all showing the energy levels coming back up into the solid range from Tuesday onward. Some of the long range predictions are currently projecting swell through next weekend. So, yowza!
Have yourself a top old weekend and rack up those brownie points with family and friends because you just may need them after Tuesday…

Weather Situation
A high pressure system south of Western Australia extends a ridge across southern and eastern New South Wales, while a low pressure system slips away to the southeast in the Tasman Sea. A southerly change will stall about central parts of the coast this morning. A high pressure system will become established over the Tasman Sea later in the weekend, turning winds east to southeasterly as it extends a ridge to the northern coast.
