Saturday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range South East
Sunday: ditto
Monday: ditto again
Tuesday: dittoish but East South East

Down in the Sea
Water temp, as measured by the waverider buoy off Long Reef says 21, but when TG stuck his big toe in the water at North Narra yesterday during the howling Noreaster, his toe froze. So you may find there’s a cold current making the temp inshore at some places a bit cooler than you expect. Today’s westerlies may improve it by Friday.
