Our dire swell situation has not changed overnight, the flatness only broken by a tease of something out of the ESE. Light rain falling and you can call the wind calm. Weak southerly change is through Sydney and slowly headed our way. Low pressure trough inland will form a low later in the weekend is our only hope for the foreseeable future ....check Coastalwatch swell forecast for updates.
