Hello Friends,
Just off the big bird from LA (15 fun-filled hours) and what do I find? It’s just as flat as it was in California.
Still, the weather is gorgeous and it is great to be home again.
This morning’s forecast says we can expect the swell to pick up from the south this afternoon, but looking at it just now (1300), I’ve gotta say I’m not overly hopeful of a surfable bump later. That said, there was 2 metres of dead south 8-9 second swell at Batemans Bay as of 1100 this morning, so… maybe toward dusk we might see something. The models are saying the peak may arrive after dark and that by tomorrow morning it could be nearly back to the current dire conditions.
Jet lag permitting, I’ll be up at the usual time to see what I can see…
Weather Situation
A high pressure ridge is strengthening over New South Wales, as a cold front which crossed the state’s south overnight shifts to the Tasman Sea. This high will be the dominant feature in the region during the next few days, although a weak cold front is forecast to skim across the south later Friday or Saturday.
