Short period NE wind swell, but glassy and crowded this morning at the north ends and good exposures like Manly.
Weather Situation
A strengthening high over the Tasman Sea is directing northeasterly winds along the coast while slowly receding further east. A southerly wind change in association with a mobile trough looks set to cross the southern and central parts of the coast later today before heading to the northern coast and weakening on Wednesday. This will be followed by another pressure ridge extending across the state’s south, maintaining south to southeasterly winds along the coast through the latter part of the week.
