Snakes alive.. it’s 2025!
A quick and nasty one. Quick cause it’s getting late. Nasty cause that’s the outlook. Suck it up.
Right no w it’s a lovely evenin.. darl dark clouds being blown away from the coast revealing a blue/purplylight blue sky. Very pretty.
But it’s the Calm before the Bureau’s “Showers. Possible Storm” tomorrow and the next day and, the.. you can read it yourself below. At least it’ll be warm and the sea is wet but hte forecast varies from light to onshores most days ahead for a bit
The Surf.. if you’re keen>>
There were some bumpy lumpy waves/wavelets at places open to the South and dead flat in protected corners today.
The outlook is
Friday around 1-1+ metres East
Saturday ditto
Sunday ditto
Monday ditto North East
Tuesday ditto ditto
Wednesday ditto ditto
Thursday and ditto ditto, maybe up slightly
Grab any chances as and when you see them. watch for dirty rainwater runoff at some beaches and maybe blueys when it’s onshore.
Small surf can still produce strong rips for weak swimmers. Swim in the flags. Surf outside them.
Stay safe . Have fun
