Hello Friends,
You know yesterday? Yeah. Like that.
The ocean is a wind torn mess thanks to 16-20 kts of ESE’ly. The MHL buoy was showing 3.5 m of 10 sec SSE energy as of 0500. So biggish at open stretches, but really not surfable.
It looks as though the wind will stay bad for us through tomorrow, but maybe it’ll relent enough for Saturday morning to be a possibility. The Goat should be along later with his thoughts, so as always I’ll be keen to see his take on our prospects for the coming week.
Have a great Thursday and see ya in the water soon
Weather Situation
A very strong high pressure system south of Tasmania with a ridge to the north is directing east to southeasterly winds along the New South Wales coast. Winds will turn east to northeasterly during Friday as the high moves over the southern Tasman Sea strengthening the ridge to the northwest.
Forecast for Thursday until midnight
