Back to small but not totally flat
Hello Friends,
The MHL buoy tells the sad story: 1.6 metres at 10 seconds from the S by SSE. What was head high and better is now struggling to make waist high. Wind will be strongly offshore all day, and that won’t help the declining swell one little bit. Get in at your fave south magnet while you can!
Behold the marine forecast:
Weather Situation
A low pressure system near Tasmania is generating a vigorous west to northwesterly airstream along the New South Wales coast. Winds will shift southerly along the southern half of the coast today as the low pressure system wanders north. After this, the complex low pressure system is forecast to remain over the Tasman Sea for much of the week.
