Sunny and waves – what a concept
Hello Friends,
Light WNW wind and some solid looking SE swell. As of 0800 it was 3 metres at 10-11 seconds from 150° out at sea. Water remains suss looking though. There was a reasonable crowd at the point this morning when I grabbed the snaps, but it seemed to be quite inconsistent and smaller compared to the beach. I didn’t see anyone in the water apart from the point, and that might be because the beach was pretty lined up and shutting down.
Swell’s expected to fade this morning but it should still be around the two metre mark by close of play. Weather should be partly cloudy with a chance of a passing shower later.
And the surf week ahead? Well, overnight the Mighty Goat has rendered unto us a forecast and as always I commend his wisdom to you.
Go well and stay safe!
Weather Situation
A ridge of high pressure is developing along the New South Wales coast while a low pressure system over the central Tasman Sea continues to move away to the southeast. This will cause winds to ease today and turn southeast to northeasterly during the weekend.
