Hello Friends,
Ocean looked unappetizing this morning from RealSurf HQ. That’s not really surprising given the combination of a steady 11-17 kt SE wind, a 1.7 metre 8-second period south swell and a swampy 1.9 metre high tide at 0850.
Have a great start to your day.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system near Tasmania will drift eastwards across the Tasman Sea through the rest of the working week, resulting in winds shifting more easterly over the coming days. Then a low pressure system is forecast to form off the Gippsland Coast and head into the Tasman Sea midweek, with its associated trough bringing a southerly wind change during the latter part of the week.
