Hello Friends,
Our civic duty calls fellow NSW’ers, so vote before or after ya surf!
Take the longest, floatiest option you have because it’s knee to maybe waist and weak as a very weak thing. From Northy to Kiddies and for a long way north and south of there, it is struggling to be surfable. Still, water’s warm, and so you might as well go for a paddle. Who knows, maybe you’ll be one of the lucky ones to jag a waist plus bomb!
On the numbers front, we have about a metre of 8-second bump coming mainly from the SSE (156°) with 6-7 kts of W-WNW breeze at daybreak. Tide is coming into a 1.77 m high at 1100 and water is 24C. Water quality should be good along the Northern Beaches – but not so hot over in Eastern Suburbs (but check Beachwatch for the latest). We’re heading to a high of 28C along the coast on what promises to be a partly cloudy day with a chance of a thunderstorm later.
Outlook for tomorrow is for maybe a slight improvement due to a bit longer period. Well, at least according to one of the model interpretations I checked this morning. Beyond that, it looks, as the Goat said like another week of weak.
Enjoy!
