Magnets just surfable this morning
Hello Friends,
There were tiny waves at the north ends this morning thanks to a 1.5 metre, 12-second dead south swell. Skies were sunny and a cool 11-16 kt WSW breeze was making the paltry swell look very pretty. Tide hits a swampy 1.8 metre high at 0940.
The Bureau’s marine forecast tells us that the swell will peak this morning and then gradually drop back a little for tomorrow. Head out with modest expectations and have fun!
And the surf week ahead? Well the Goat’s all over it.
Weather Situation
A series of cold fronts and troughs will pass to the south over the next few days, bringing bursts of fresh to strong westerly winds to southern and central waters. Early next week a high pressure system is forecast to reach the Tasman Sea with winds turning northeasterly.
