Hello Friends

Small, scrappy 8 sec period SE wind swell pushing into the beaches of Sydney this morning. It may be close to 2 metres out at sea, but waves are around the waist high mark. And quality is strictly ordinary.

I checked from Northy to Dee Why ahead of the radio report this morning before 0700, and the only people in the water at that point were the folk messing about in the mess of North Narrabeen. Low quality stuff it has to be said, and worse, the water looked pretty bad from all the rain and lagoon wash out.

Wind is set to be easterly around to NE today, but not to be particularly strong. Just enough to maintain the junkiness I’d say.

Tomorrow the NE’r is promising to freshen up and so we might possibly see something of interest in semi-protected north corners for the late. But again, the quality is not looking all that wonderful. More scrappy, lumpy, jumpy, messy wind junk.

Tide’s high at 1120 and back to low at 1740.

Weather Situation
A high centred in the southern Tasman Sea directs onshore airstream toward NSW coast. Winds are expected to strengthen gradually by Monday due to approaching cold front. The front is likely to appear on NSW coast as a southerly change from late Monday. The change is expected to stall on the North Coast from Tuesday with onshore airstream redeveloping from Wednesday onwards.
Forecast for Saturday until midnight
Winds
Easterly 5 to 10 knots turning northeasterly 10 to 15 knots in the late afternoon.
Seas
Below 1 metre.
Swell
Easterly 1 metre tending southeasterly this afternoon and evening.
Sunday 29 January
Winds
Northeasterly 15 to 20 knots increasing to 20 to 25 knots by early evening.
Seas
1 to 1.5 metres increasing to 2 metres later in the evening.
Swell
Easterly about 1.5 metres tending southerly 1 metre in the afternoon and evening.
Monday 30 January
Winds
North to northeasterly 25 to 30 knots reaching 35 knots offshore during the afternoon.
Seas
2 metres increasing to 3 metres during the morning.
Swell
Southeasterly 0.5 to 1.5 metres.

Hello Friends,

Wind was out of the SE at 10-15 kts this morning and the little wind swell of the last few days has dropped back to about a metre from the east at 8 seconds apart. According to this morning’s forecast from the Bureau, the wind will stay at it through the day and the average height of the swell will bump up a touch. But I’d say you’ll need to be pretty keen to get in because the quality is marginal at best.

The next tide is a high at 1045 this morning and the low will be along at about 1710.

Oh, and big surprise, the cloudy skies will continue along with an 80% chance of rain.

Over the next couple days, the wind is expected to go more around to the NE. So, maybe there’ll be a few more small surf options around at places that can do something with east wind swell and cope with a NEr.

Have yourself a top old Friday!

Weather Situation
A weak cold front is crossing the southern Tasman Sea and a high pressure system is moving towards Tasmania extending a ridge behind the front bringing southerly change to New South Wales south coast. During Friday the high will move over the southwestern Tasman Sea extending the ridge to the north coast. Another, stronger southerly change is expected to develop on the south coast on Monday.
Forecast for Friday until midnight
Winds
East to southeasterly 10 to 20 knots.

Winds
East to northeasterly 10 to 15 knots becoming northeasterly 15 to 20 knots later in the evening.
