Blustery morning along the beaches
Hello Friends,
15-25 kts of southerly blasting the beaches all night and into this morning. Swell at sea was 3.3 metres at seconds from the ESE. Had it not been for the wind, wave possibilities might have been reasonable. Instead, we’re left with the protected south corners where the water quality is still pretty suss according to Beachwatch.
Outlook is for both wind and swell to fade over the next 24 hours, so maybe tomorrow there will be a few fun ones in the mix for the early… beyond that this morning’s swell models show a steady decline back to tiny to flat for the remainder of the work week. The latest long range forecasts aren’t looking very interesting unfortunately. Spring… blergh.
Go well with your day and shout out of thanks to all those who joined the Line in the Sand yesterday afternoon despite the very ordinary weather in the lead up.
Weather Situation
A high south of the continent combined with a trough located well off the NSW coast is pushing a southerly flow up the New South Wales coast. The high extends a ridge to the southern Tasman Sea and will be located east of Tasmania on Sunday and Monday, allowing southerly winds along the coast to moderate on today and then tend southeast to northeasterly on Monday.
