Hello Friends,
No waves to be seen this morning. Which makes sense when you consider that swell at sea is 0.8 m at 11 seconds from 158° and wind is out of the NNW.
Nice and sunny this morning though.
Wondering about the surf prospects? Well, the Goat has rolled out his latest outlook. He’s his usual jovial self and of course I commend his wisdom to you!
Stay safe everybody. If you can get the jab, do so. And of course, put on the mask when you’re getting essentials. In fact, I reckon it doesn’t hurt to wear it when you’re anywhere near others. The latest COVID variant is spreading fast, so let’s not take any chances.
Weather Situation
A series of troughs are forecast to move across the state in association with the deep low pressure system over the Bight, with westerly winds strengthening on Friday ahead a strong cold front that will cross the state on Saturday. Winds will gradually ease on Sunday and early new week as a high pressure system over the central parts of the continent extends a ridge towards the northeast of the state.
