Hello Friends,
Grey skies and 9-11 kts of NNE wind chopping up a tiny 1.4 metre 5-second NE bump as Friday gets started in Sydney. Although it was holding off when I grabbed the snaps, the Bureau tells us we have a 95% chance of showers as we head to a high of 27C.
Wondering about the weekend surf prospects? Well, that’s why the Goat rolled out a fresh forecast last night for your consideration.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system lies over the Tasman Sea and is generating northerly winds along the New South Wales coast. A trough is forecast to arrive on the weekend, bringing a strong and gusty southerly change to southern waters Saturday, before weakening as it continues heading north on Sunday.
