Hello Friends,
Another gorgeous morning along the beaches with, apart from the swell, perfect surf conditions. As the pictures show, we’re down to only a few weak little scraps for the super keen. You have to wait and you need your floatiest surf toy for these ones.
There’s a 70% chance of a shower, but wind should stay out of the westerly quarters and be pretty light. Swell at sea was a 1.3 m at 9 seconds from the east as of 0940. Water temp is still on 21C and first tide of the day was the high at 0800. It’ll be back to low at 1350.
Tomorrow looks pretty similar again, and same with Thursday and Friday, although the more hopeful projections hint at an improvement to the size during the day Thursday.
Go well with your Tuesday everyone!
Weather Situation
A weak ridge of high pressure lies across the state, and a cold front is moving into the far southwest of the state. The cold front is expected to bring a southeasterly change to the south coast of New South Wales on Tuesday, and will then become a slow-moving trough. A high pressure system is expected to move eastwards across Tasmania on Tuesday in the wake of the front, and to the southern Tasman Sea on Wednesday. The next cold front is expected to affect the coast on Thursday.
