Small and soft Tuesday morning
Hello Friends,
Checked a few spots on this morning’s Manly run and there are still a few soft looking waves left around. The biggest sets at the magnets were producing chest plus wave faces, but for the most part it was generally inconsistent, weak and around waist high on the peaks.
Swell at sea was 1.5 metres from the ENE at 8 seconds and wind was coming lightly from the west as the day got started under partly cloudy skies. First tide of the day is a swampy 1.73 high at 0915. It’s another hot one coming up, with a forecast high of 34.
Outlook is for conditions to be similar but smaller tomorrow.
Go well with your Tuesday!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea extends a ridge along the northern New South Wales coast, bringing northerly winds. A cold front will deliver a vigorous westerly change to southern and central areas today, reinforced by another front passing to the south on Wednesday. Winds will shift southerly during Thursday as a new ridge of high pressure extends across the state from the west.
