Hello Friends,
Light wind for the early and 1.6 m of 11 second SE swell under sunny skies made for fun looking knee to waist plus waves along the beach and at the point. Tide was low at 0745 and is running into a 1.7 m high at 1410. It should stay sunny all day and get to a mild 23. Winds should stay light but they’ll be coming around to the SE.
Interestingly after not look all that hopeful yesterday, this morning’s call from the Bureau is for the swell to come up from the SE and they’re expecting some long period component that could result in unexpected sets. Interesting.
And for the look ahead, well, the Goat dropped his predictions for the coming week last night.
Have a great Friday everybody!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system near Tasmania extends a ridge along the New South Wales coast. This pattern will change very little over the next few days as the high gradually drifts across the southern Tasman Sea, maintaining southeast to northeasterly winds over most waters.
