Possible maybe
Hello Friends,
You might be able to get something resembling a wave this morning, but it’s not high quality. Wind was coming from the east at 5-9 kts at 0800 and out at sea the 1.5 metre swell was coming from the south at 10 seconds. Tide hit high at 0825 and will be back to low at 1430. The wind’s not expected to change much through the day.
The Goat should be along later with his thoughts on the surf week ahead. From a quick glance at the models, I’m hoping for pretty fun conditions on Saturday morning as the swell pulses up and before the afternoon wind bumps things up. And midweek is currently looking interesting too.
Go well with your Thursday!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system near Tasmania is moving over the Tasman Sea and produce a firm ridge and a persistent south to southeasterly flow for the next day or so. The winds will then turn northerly later this week ahead of a cold front that looks set to cross the region on Saturday, with winds turning westerly in its wake late Saturday or during Sunday.
