"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

So, what else ya got on?

Hello Friends,

Well, this is easy. It’s going to be a really hot day, so of course the wave prospects are dire. As the pictures from dawn at Long Reef show, the sub-metre SSE swell isn’t doing anything for surfers. I suppose it might possibly be a tiny bit bigger on sets at a better exposed spot, but even so, you’d want a mal or SUP to have much of a chance.
Wind is going to be northerly today and the swell is not expected to improve. Tomorrow there might possibly be a little something in the morning according to some models, but I wouldn’t count on any significant improvement.
There seems to be some hope of an improvement to surf prospects from mid to late in the working week, but again, I’m not seeing anything really interesting in the forecasts at this point.
So head to the beach to escape the heat by all means, but take your biggest and floatiest water toy if you want any chance of scudding in on a little dribbler.
Have a great Saturday!

Hmmm.

Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea is directing northerly winds along the New South Wales coast, which will gradually strengthen today. A cold front will bring a southerly change to southern New South Wales waters overnight or early Sunday, shifting westerly later in the day as another system approaches from the Bight. This next front will skim across the state’s southeast on Monday, bringing a more substantial southerly change to the coast as a high develops in its wake.
