Hot one coming up

Hello Friends,

The Bureau says we can expect to hit 36C later today, so lots of folks will be heading to the beach – where they won’t find much surf. There were little high-tide affected bumps coming into the south ends, but they were pretty feeble and rarely above knee to waist high. So not flat, but only just. No surprise then to see the buoy data showing 1.2 m of 5-6 second residual NE wind bump. Water’s clean and a refreshing 20C.
There’s no obvious reason to think the surf will improve, in fact there’s a strong wind warning for 15-25 kts of northerlies. Tomorrow’s shaping to be hotter and windy ahead of a late afternoon south change to break the heat.

Surf outlook for Sunday is not great but with luck it shouldn’t be absolutely flat everywhere. The early will be the go.

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea will drift slowly northeast over the next couple of days. Northerly winds will increase today ahead of a low pressure trough, which will bring a strong and gusty southerly change during Sunday afternoon. These winds will ease and tend more variable on Monday as a new high moves in from the west. The winds will then tend northeasterly and increase again Tuesday ahead of a second trough.
