Hello Friends,
Rain now clearing away to the SE, so ocean won’t look quite as bad as the pic above taken at first light this morning. There’s size, but it’s lumpy and messy, plus the water is befouled by all the rain we’ve just had.
Skip it!
The good news is that it looks like we have a week of waves coming up.
Go well!
Weather Situation
A trough, which extends along the New South Wales coast, may deepen and form a transient low pressure system this morning, and then move south during the day. This system is expected to weaken tonight and move further east, where it will linger as a broad trough over the Tasman Sea for the coming days. Early next week strong southerly winds are forecast to develop as a cold front crosses the region and a low develops over the Tasman Sea.
Forecast for Saturday until midnight
