No surfin’ today
Hello Friends,
The water looked a bit better from RealSurf HQ this morning, but I’d guess that it’s probably not clear enough yet for sharks to be spotted with drones etc. So the prohibition against surfing, swimming or otherwise getting into the water, continues through Thursday.
Too bad, the conditions looked good this morning.
Maybe tomorrow…
Weather Situation
A ridge lies over the NSW coast bringing east to southeasterly winds. Winds will briefly turn northeast to northwesterly ahead of a fresh to strong and gusty southerly change moving along the coast today. Winds are expected to ease from Friday and gradually turn northerly again as a high pressure system moves into the Tasman Sea, where it lingers over the weekend.
Forecast for Thursday until midnight
