Hello Friends,
It was a pleasant enough morning for a stroll around the lagoon and along the beach in the drizzle. Surf, as the pictures show, was only barely above flatness – at the magnets. The wind was light at the time, but as of 1230, it’s now 13-17 kts from the south. Out at sea, the MHL buoy was seeing a metre of 4.7 second SSW wind bump.
From the look of this morning’s swell models, we’re unlikely to see an improvement in surf prospects until the end of the coming work week.
Have a great Sunday!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge over northern part of the coast, bringing moderate to fresh northeasterly winds to the northern and central parts of the coast, while a trough extends from northwestern NSW through to the southern coast, bringing easterly winds to the southern part of the coast. Winds will tend northeasterly along the whole coast again during today as the trough contracts away slightly from the coast, before another southerly change moves along southern and central parts of the coast Monday and Tuesday as the trough moves into the Tasman sea and a new ridge builds over the coast.
