Blown flat

Hello Friends,

20-25 kts of SSW wind to kick off a cloudy Wednesday morning. Swell at sea is 2 metres from 190° (so it’s headed away from us) at only 5 seconds apart, hence the flatness.

So, no surf today, and probably nothing to speak of before Saturday at the earliest. Water’s 24C though!

Weather Situation

A slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge to the northern New South Wales coast. A trough moving up the South Coast is expected to stall over the Mid North Coast tomorrow, before weakening on Thursday. In its wake another slow-moving high pressure system will become established in the southern Tasman Sea.
