Sunny surf day for everybody
Hello Friends,
No time for me to write a report… maybe later!
The pictures will have to tell the story for now.

wind: WNW 6-9 kts
tide: high 1.6m high at 0920, 0.46 m low at 1505
Weather Situation
Light to moderate southerly winds as a low pressure system over the Tasman Sea continues to head further eastwards. A cold front looks set to approach the far south coast later Tuesday and continue to move northwards, crossing the remainder of the coast between Wednesday and Thursday while weakening to a trough, bringing strong to gale force southerly winds and large powerful waves in its wake. The system will reach southeast Queensland coast later this week and this will be followed by a strong high pressure system drifting across Bass Strait later this week, which will maintain onshore east to southeasterly airstream across the east.
