Hello Friends,
Swell powering in as Monday got started. Sets were into the 1.5x overhead range (probably bigger on bombs) and people were chasing their opportunities at the point and up the beach toward No Mans. Wind was a brisk 12-17 WSW’ly and out at sea the buoys were seeing 3.4 m 11 second SE (160°) swell. Water quality is back to normal and ocean temp is 23C – which is a couple degrees warmer than the expected 21C high today. First tide of the daylight hours is the 1.59 m high at 0830; it’ll be back to low at 1430.
Swell should stick around at about this intensity all day and through to tomorrow morning’s session. From there it currently looks like remaining surfable right into the weekend. Gotta love autumn!
Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system drifts across southeast Australia today, reaching the Tasman Sea by Tuesday. The next trough looks set to affect the region during the middle of the week.
