I thought that I had posted something like this before but I can't find it to add this next one, so new topic it is.
Q.
Is Sydney in some sort of hole?
The forecast wind and swell for Newcastle (to the north) and the Illawarra (to the south) are more exciting than the forecast for Metro (Sydney).

Please explain Monday's forecast..

Huey is keeping away from the "hotspots" around Sydney.

I have noticed the Seabreeze Sydney forecasts have been "off" for a while now. I usually look at the Illawarra chart and rely on the synoptic chart or Apps like Windy to come to my own conclusion

I stopped in Sydney once.
I thought it was a hole.

Nobody green thumbed that comment. Take it the reason is because it is an indisputable fact.

When you do have a storm can you tell us all about it?

From my experience, seabreeze routinely underestimates Sydney and overestimates Newcastle and the Illawarra. Case in point today.

Sydney had the worst forecast but the best wind.














Ignore Little Bay, which is sheltered...

With experience on Botany Bay and Jervis Bay, I can tell you that lots of green arrows on the Kingsford Smith wind is equivalent to a mix of yellow and green at Pt Perpendicular and Jervis Bay airfield.
If Gerroa shows any yellow, that's 5-6m conditions. When it turns green, you can rig your smallest sail.
I think it comes down to where the gauge is sited. The one at Pt Perpendicular is only partway up a tower and the scrub around it might have grown since it was sited, whereas the one at Kingsford Smith is well clear of obstacles, plus it has the acceleration of the thermal wind as the large expanse of tarmac creates an area of low pressure due to heating.
