Little combo bumps
Hello Friends,
We have a combination of 10-ish sec east and 14-sec south swell this morning in the meter-ish range. This should open up opportunities for waist plus peaks and maybe better when the two swell trains combine on an optimal sand bank.
Tide hits a modest 1.38 m high at 1005 and wind should be mellow and offshore across what promises to be a sunny day. Pretty attractive set of conditions apart from the bracing 16 C water.
If you have the opportunity, it might be a good day to poke around and find yourself something to play on.
From Friday onward it looks as though we’re back into the cloudy/rainy stuff for the better part of a week. Swell prospects across the period currently look ordinary too.
Pics up by around 0930, so check back then.
Weather Situation
A low pressure trough along the southern coastal waters. A high pressure system is forecast to extend a ridge across the coast on Wednesday and move over the Tasman from Thursday where it becomes slow moving through to the weekend. A trough may possibly form along the northeast coast over the weekend.
