Hello Friends,
Well, as expected, surf conditions are awful as Wednesday gets started. The NE wind was 15-20 kts by 0630, smashing the little 6-sec period choppy NE wind swell. Skies were clouding over, making the forecast 90% chance of 4-10mm of rain later look entirely plausible.
It’s set to rain even more tomorrow (15-25mm) and to do so again on Friday (6-10mm).
The swell modelling which looked sort of semi-hopeful a day or two ago has gone all bleak on us this morning. The call now is for relentless NE wind and only short period NE chop.
Right now it looks as though the next chance of a reasonable little springtime wave will be maybe on Monday morning…
Go well with your day everyone!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system lies over the Tasman Sea, with coastal winds shifting east to northeasterly. Winds will increase during the second half of the week as a low pressure system approaches from the west. This low looks set to cross the northern coast at the end of the week, before a new high extends across the region.
