"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Tiny chop early

Hello Friends,
The numbers tell the story: swell at sea as of 0745 was 1.4 metres at 8-9 seconds from 171°, wind at North Head was SE 6-7 kts and tide had just peaked at 1.7 metres around 0710. There was a light drizzle falling at various points along the beaches and we are headed to a high of 25C. Beachwatch was reporting an ocean temp of 24C.
Did the Manly run and saw nothing above knee high…

Weather Situation
A trough and southerly change on the northern New South Wales coast will weaken this morning. Behind this, a high south of the Bight will move to the Tasman sea today while pushing a ridge over coastal areas. This pattern will bring a gradual return to northerly winds in most coastal areas by Thursday, ahead of the next trough and southerly change, which currently looks set to arrive on Saturday.
