Hello Friends,
Not a Saturday to be up early for a wave. The MHL buoy was showing only 0.6 m or short period wind chop from the north as of daybreak. Wind was 10-25 kts from the WNW and air temps were around the 13C mark as of 0630. So, flat, blasting offshores and cold. Lovely.
If you’re checking in before 0730, you should tune into ABC 702 for the Goat’s words of wisdom on the week ahead surf prospects. From my reading of the runes, you should be waxing up the stick again in a few days’ time…
Similarly dire on the surf prospects for the Santa Barbara area, but north and south of the Channel Islands’ swell shadow, there is a little activity
Have a top old Saturday!
Weather Situation
A cold front will move through New South Wales waters today, accompanied by a vigorous west to southwesterly wind shift.
