Hello Friends,
It was shoulder to head plus at SE magnets this morning. Wind was light and from the west for the early, but it should drift around to the E-SE soon. Swell at sea was 2 metres at 13+ seconds from 151°. Skies were grey as you’d expect when the odds of rainfall are 90%. Tide was running out to the 1000 low and Beachwatch tells us that water quality was good from Newport north, but questionable to likely polluted down to (and including) Manly. Ocean temp is on 22C.
Swell looked to be reasonably consistent, but oddly (given the tide) fat and lumpy and unpredictable too. From the look of things we should have waves in the fun range right through to the weekend and into next week.
Have yourself a great Tuesday, and stay safe!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system to the east of Tasmania and a trough lying along the coast are generating south to southeasterly winds along the New South Wales coast. This trough is expected to weaken as the high pressure system moves east, reaching the Tasman Sea on Wednesday and cause winds to tend east to northeasterly.
