Hello Friends,
In line with expectations, the final day of 2024 bows out with another sunny but close to waveless day. The MHL bouy was showing 0.7 metres of 13-second dead south swell around the time I took the picture above at North Curly. Wind was out of the NNW at 3-4 kts, so had there been swell, it would’ve been reasonably clean.
The dire spell of near flat conditions looks set to last into mid-next week unfortunately. There might possibly be a little something at semi-protected south swell spots on Thursday afternoon, but my guess is that you’ll need a high tolerance for windblown conditions…
Anyway, have a great NYE everyone and catch you again tomorrow.
A ridge of high pressure extends along the New South Wales coast and across the far south of the state while a trough is developing inland. Today a weak trough is forecast to move along the southern coast before stalling, with a more vigorous change arriving later Wednesday or Thursday as a cold front passes to the south.
