Hello Friends,
Minimal swell plus days of offshores has delivered us near perfect flatness this morning. At 0700 there was no way you’d catch anything, anywhere along the beaches. There was less than half a metre of 3-second north breeze bump.
The good news? This should be the nadir of the flatness according to the Bureau. Energy levels should gradually increase slightly by the end of the day and then overnight a south pulse should start to fill in and tomorrow morning the call is for 2-3 metres of swell with strong SW wind. And the models are still showing the 10-12 sec south to SSE swell staying above the 2 metre mark into Sunday.
But for now, it’s flat as a tack.
Enjoy your Wednesday everyone!

A deepening, slow moving low in the Tasman will direct a vigorous cool southwesterly airstream over New South Wales on Wednesday and Thursday.
