Hello Friends,
Sunny and weirdly mild for an early August morning as Saturday got started. As expected, the swell faded overnight and we’re looking at waist high wave faces on the sets. Out at sea the waverider buoys were detecting a metre of 12-13 second SE swell. Wind was light and coming from the north under partly cloudy skies. Tide was high at 0450 and will bottom out at 1030. The dry and sunny weather is forecast to last for at least the next week. Surf prospects aren’t looking too exciting. The tininess is likely to persist all week, although there is a little hope for a mid-week perk.
Go well everyone!
Weather Situation
A high pressure ridge extends across the north, while a series of cold fronts slips through the south of the state, with a brief fresh west to southwesterly wind change on Sunday as a trough brushes along the southern coastal waters. Winds will turn southerly again on Tuesday as another trough brushes the coast, with a strong high pressure system entering the southeast of the continent in the wake.
