Why is the temp predicted to reach 30 deg today in sydney, yet the wind prediction shows that the wind will die to almost nothing just after lunch?

I thought it should kick in with such a high temp?

You'll get a better seabreeze when the city is predicted to be 25 with 30 out west. This is because the seabreeze keeps the city temps down. When it's 30 in the city, it's because we get hot N/NW winds associated with a following southerly front. It's all pressure related, sometimes we get strong prefrontal northerlies, sometimes not.

Having said all this, check out the noreaster that's just turned on at Kurnell.

Yeah, I'm sitting at home with the car all packed, and engine running wondering if I'm gonna get stranded out in the middle if I go !!

Woo hoo!! Kyeemagh was awesome, and for the first time ever, I'm not rounding the board upwind in my gybes. I'm stoked!!!
