Hello Friends,
10-15 kts of NNE wind blowing as of 0700. Grey skies overhead and an ocean not looking all that interesting. Dee Why seemed to have knee plus wave faces, but the quality was not good and there were only one or two super keen types in the water. The MHL data shows 1.4 metres of 6 second SE wind bump out at sea as of 0400. Tide is coming into a 1.56m high at 1250. Weather outlook is for 8-20mm of rain across the day.
Today being a Thursday, I’ll defer to the Goat’s upcoming look at the week ahead. But I will say that prospects for the weekend don’t seem to have gone backwards since I last checked the models…
Have yourself a top old Thursday!
