Well BOM and Seabreeze both got it totally wrong for yesterday. The Nor'Easter never came through. Instead we had a very light Southerly for most of the day. (well not entirely true there was about 10 knts from the Nor'East at 7:30 pm)
This morning doesn't look very promising. It's slightly overcast and there is zero swell. That doesn't seem to stop a few dozen hopefuls sitting on their boards in the ocean. Compared to yesterday at least the clouds are moving into the right direction.
BOM is calling for 20 - 25 knts. I'd give it a 75% chance. Albeit still with no swell. If you are thinking about coming down from Sydney don't bother. It ain't worth it.
Happy New Years Eve!
