Hello Friends,
As expected, the swell’s faded back overnight to very small. Out at sea it was a metre at just 5 seconds from the NE, so chances of finding anything much above waist high are probably not good. Otherwise, it’s looking like a nice day coming up with a high of 23 and sunny skies.
Wondering about the surf week ahead? Well, wonder no more, the Mighty Goat has spoken…
Go well!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea is generating northerly winds along central and southern parts of the coast, and east to southeasterly winds in the north. North to northwesterly winds are expected to increase during the morning ahead of a cold front, which will bring a fresh to strong south to southwesterly change to the southern waters on Saturday. After this, winds are forecast to weaken as a new high pressure system extends a ridge across the region from the west.
