Hello Friends,
Looks like surfing is off the agenda this morning – unless you’ve got a kite rig or a sailboard. Not only was there a blustery 15-25 kts of SE wind ripping it to bits, but the south corners weren’t a prospect either thanks to only 1.5 m of 5-6 sec south wind bump. And there’s no serious hope for an improvement today according to the Bureau whose modelling shows a gradual decrease in wave heights over the day.
Surf options are not good for tomorrow either and, in fact, for most of the coming work week. If they’re right, we could be waiting until Thursday-Friday or so before we see anything interesting.
Here’s hoping the forecasts are unduly bleak, but then again, it is spring, so there is that…
Have a top old Saturday everyone!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Bight extends a ridge to the far south coast, while a trough lies over southern Queensland waters. These systems are generating south to southeasterly winds, which will shift east to northeasterly early next week as the high drifts eastwards and strengthens over the central Tasman Sea.
