As tiny as yesterday – again
Hello Friends,
As expected, surf conditions are the same as yesterday morning – clean, but near flat most places on an incoming tide.
For the record, the breeze at 0600 was coming from the west at 5-6 kts, while out at sea, the MHL buoy was detecting 1.2 metres of 11-second energy from the SE. That was translating into maybe knee and a bit to waist-ish plus high on bomb sets at better exposures. Everywhere else was pretty much missing out.
Outlook is for this nonsense to last until around Tuesday when we might see the first hints of a potentially sizable midweek-into the weekend pulse. The wind call is for light onshores from Monday, which will then go south on Wednesday as a sizeable east swell starts to show up. Thursday’s currently looking intriguing with offshores, clear skies and 2-3 metres from the east. The good conditions might last through Saturday…
Weather Situation
A weak ridge of high pressure is expected to maintain light to moderate winds from the northeast to southeast during the weekend, with periods of unsettled weather possible. Winds tend north to northeasterly across the southern coastal waters early next week, with fresher south to southeasterlies possible along the northern coastal waters associated with a low in the southern Coral Sea.
