Just when you thought it couldn't get any flatter it does. It's pretty amazing really. There is not a wave in sight anywhere. It's crazy humid and partly overcast today. I am guessing that means another round of storms later this afternoon.

Wind at the moment is light from the Nor'East. I am guessing we will see similar conditions to yesterday in the 20 to 25 knts range. Not that it really matters with the current lack of swell. Due to the humidity I would say we will see another storm around 3 or 4pm which should shut things down pretty quickly. But I might be wrong.

My recommendation would be try up North in the Gong or stay in Sydney.

The Southerly tomorrow should arrive at the Gong around 1pm. Stay cool for the rest of today.

i'm a bit surprised you even have a NE'r at Gerroa. Sydney is NW and will probably turn a bit more north but ? for a seabreeze. And - it's about 35 deg. on the coast already!

I think it's the local topography... the Nor'Easter went up to about 15 knts before it dropped and turned N to NNW. Temperature has now gone from hot to fu** off hot.

The good news about the hot temperatures means the drop to the forecast 20 degrees on Monday should bring really strong Southerly.

Or does the really strong southerly drop the temp to 20 degrees!?! You should get a job at the BOM sludgy

well... maybe I should. Since they seem to be unable to get their forecasts right these days. Front just hit with 40 knts. ... strangely it's blowing from the NW.
