Hello Friends,
First light in Sydney saw weak SW wind fanning a knee to waist high SSE swell. It was 1.6 metres at sea with a 9-second period, so south exposures should be on the upper end of the scale surfwise (maybe chest high bombs?) Tide’s high right on 0800, but it’s not a big one, so it shouldn’t be particularly fat. Beachwatch was calling yesterday water quality good at most places and reported the temp is on 24C.
Swell has bumped ever so slightly up in Santa Barbara to maybe knee high at better exposures. It’s closer to waist to chest up north on the Central Coast. Here are your postcards:
Weather Situation
A slow-moving high pressure system over the Southern Ocean is extending a ridge along the coast, bringing a south to southeasterly airstream. Winds will gradually become east to northeasterly over the southern and central parts of the coast during the mid week as the high moves over the Tasman Sea.
