Sunny, breezy and tiny
Hello Friends,
Another sunny morning with brisk 18-30 kt WNW wind and nothing in the way of swell. There’s not much prospect of an improvement today, but tomorrow we should see 2.5-3 metres of south swell arrive along with SW-S wind in the 25-30 kt range.
Go well!
Weather Situation
North to northwesterly winds will increase through today ahead of a strong cold front that will cross the coastal waters this morning. Winds will turn strong to gale-force west to southwesterly after passage of the front, then winds will gradually turn south to southwesterly and ease later in the week as a new high pressure system drifts across the state’s south.
