Hello Friends,
Clean surface conditions, mainly sunny skies this morning. Wind was out of the WSW early, but at 1000 it started going southerly and soon the picture above will be highly unrepresentative of the conditions!
We’re in for a southerlies from now through to Thursday afternoon. Plus it’ll be showery. So, not the greatest outlook for the short term.
It looks as though there might be little waves on Friday morning with light wind and a metre-ish of 9-ish period SE to E bump…
Go well everyone!
Weather Situation
A trough lies close to the coast, the trough will drift northeastwards and an area of low pressure will develop offshore. As a result a southerly change, currently moving through southern waters will gradually move northwards over the next couple of days. Another ridge is expected by Friday.
Forecast for Tuesday until midnight
