Hello Friends,
10-15 kts of 33C wind by 0800 on a cloudy Sunday morning along the beaches. Wind bump out at sea was 1.3 metres at 6-7 seconds from the NE, but wave faces on sets were rarely into that range and for the much of the time it was basically flat. Better exposures should see some waist to chest sets, but of course it will be the usual short period windswell challenge of timing it perfectly with your take offs. Tide hit a swampy 1.7 m high at 0800. It’ll be back to low at 1455. Water temp has nudged up to 21C as we head to a high of 40C. Happily a late afternoon south change should break the heat.
Tomorrow should see shoulder high energy at south magnets, but the southerly wind will likely make the biggest places messy. Wind is predicted to fade back a little around the middle part of the day as it swings to the NE. Right now the rest of the week is looking sort of marginal although the models are showing a possible longish period dead south pulse for Friday along with light wind early…
Go well and stay COVID safe!
Weather Situation
A vigorous southerly wind change in association with a deepening low near Tasmania will affect southern and central parts of the coast today. This change is expected to reach the far northern coast early Monday as a new high moves across southeast Australia to the Tasman Sea.
