Hello Friends,
Another day of microscopic surf conditions for World Ocean Day. The best wave I saw was the one shown below at Queenscliff. Super clean and pretty, but very short period – and the crew on ’em were doing a lot of waiting. Air temp was 11C but the 15 kt WNW made it feel even colder. You had to be keen.
Swell at sea was under a metre and coming from the NE at around 7 seconds apart. Ocean temp is on 19C.
Some of the models are showing a little bump in energy levels tomorrow and Friday, but looking at the ocean now, I don’t know…
Have yourself a good one!
Weather Situation
Strong northerly winds are expected to ease and shift westerly this morning as a cold front crosses the region. Meanwhile, a low pressure system is forming along the southern coast this morning, producing fresh easterly winds along the coast south from its centre. This low will linger along the coast until Friday, but is then expected to move away to the south by Saturday, with easterly winds along southern parts of the coast tending fresh to strong west to southwesterly.
