Hello Friends,
The utter lack of surf continues for Sydney. Given that the offshore buoys are only detecting 0.7m of 4-sec NE chop, there’s no immediate prospect of an improvement.
The swell models are showing a small uptick into the just-surfable range on Friday at NE magnets. It looks like it’ll be short-lived though. Welcome to August everyone.
Take care, stay safe and have a great Wednesday.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system in the Tasman Sea extends a ridge across northern New South Wales, while a complex low pressure system, with multiple centres, deepens south of the Bight. This low will move slowly east during the next few days, with an associated trough and cold front bringing increased winds to much of the coast from Wednesday to Friday. The system looks set to decay heading into the weekend, as the next high slowly becomes dominant.
