Hello Friends,
Bright blue skies and a chilly NW breeze to greet a barely-there little 9-second, 1.3 metre SE swell. As the pictures indicate, you could pick up the odd knee to waist high bomb at the better exposures. Away from the magnets it was just about flat. First tide of the day was a 1.35 m high at 0850. By the time we get to low tide at 1420 the wind should be blowing hard from the west – which will likely do away with any surfable options.
Tomorrow morning should see a repeat of the offshores, but my hunch is that it’ll be even more marginal surfwise than today. Ditto for Wednesday. But Thursday, when yours truly is driving west, the south swell should ramp into the intense range (3-4 metres potentially). Wind’s shaping to be light too. Typical.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!
Weather Situation
A deepening low and associated cold front are have moved to the Tasman sea leaving strong to gale force westerly flow in its wake. Winds will tend more southwesterly on Wednesday as the low moves east across the southern Tasman Sea.
