Small but clean in Sydney
Hello Friends,
Just waving hi. Looks as though there are some small, lined-up waves around the place and the wind was coming lightly from the NW when I wrote this. As of 0930, primary swell at sea was just a metre at 6 seconds from the south. But it also looked as though there was some NE component in the mix too. Gonna be a warm 29 or so for the highs right through to Sunday.
You might see some NE bump at the magnets tomorrow morning along with light NW wind.
Still super-ultra-tiny here in Santa Barbara, but well south of here they’re seeing waist plusses.
Might try to get a postcard or two together tomorrow if I can. Have a great Thursday!
Weather Situation
North to northwesterly winds are forecast to prevail over New South Wales coast most of the week, apart from brief incursions of southerly or westerly winds to the southern and central coastal waters due to mobile troughs, as a high pressure ridge extends from the Tasman Sea to the far north coast while a series of cold fronts skims to the south through the week.
Forecast for Thursday until midnight
