Saturday
Weather
Dry as a bone, with very little detail to speak of. The only real difference between the two weekend days will be cloud amounts. Saturday being mostly cloudy (rather like Friday was), with a force 3-4 ENE’ly wind keeping temperatures within a very slim range… 16°C and 12-13°C for the min.
Surf and the Water
Flat (or very near flat) surf all day, but some pretty decent swimming conditions in the northern corners of the west-coast bays, as well as the eastern corners of the south-coast bays. High tide will be optimum for this… 9.1m at 10am. Low tide will be around 4:20pm.
Sunday
Weather
Remaining dru as a bone (gardeners and farmers must be getting rather desperate now). A much much sunnier day than Saturday, but the ENE’ly wind will perhaps be a little more brisk, making the day-to-day temperature difference minimal. The daytime max around 16-17°C (feeling warmest along the south coast), followed by an overnight min of 11-12°C.
Surf and the Water
Flat (or very near flat) surf all day, but some pretty decent swimming conditions in the northern corners of the west-coast bays, as well as the eastern corners of the south-coast bays. High tide will be optimum for this… 8.4m at 10:40am. Low tide will be around 5pm.
Next Week
Weather
A week of brisk and rather tedious E’ly winds (force 4-5), bringing a mix of cloud, sunshine and just the remotest chance of a brief light shower. Max temps will be around 15-16°C and min temps around 13°C.
Surf and the Water
The surf is looking flat in the first half of the week, because all these ex-hurricanes and tropical storms that are swirling around the Atlantic are just a bit too far south to bless us with any of their bounty. There is hope for a slight northward shift by the second half though, so watch this spaces for the chance of some lined-up long-period gems.Winds will be a bit brisk, so swimmers’ best hope for shelter will be around high tide on the west coast. Those highs being around lunchtime in the first half of the week and then in the late afternoons in the second.
The next forecast update will be on Monday…
