Gathering cloud this morning, but there were still patches of blue here and there. The ocean remains unchanged from yesterday, so surf prospects are pretty much nil. Swell at sea was 0.7 metres from the SSE with an otherwise useful 13-second period.
From tomorrow the swell will start filling in and, after another small start, it should be into the 2 metre range by nightfall. Unfortunately, at the same time, the weather will be rainy and the wind southerly. The Bureau says the wind will southerly from the get-go, and showery. However the finer-grained hourly wind predictions from the GFS and ECMWF models are showing SW wind until late morning… so… there could be reasonable surf prospects Monday morning. Beyond that it’s shaping to be southerly to SE pretty much around the clock for the rest of the week (might be another window Tuesday morning for the early).
Have a great Saturday one and all!
