Steve777 Weather Freak Registered: 20/10/2011 Loc: Sydney North Shore	The water off Crowdy Head has been amazingly cold - it seems to have been stuck around 16 deg since I first looked at the Manly Hydraulics Lab site about 2 months ago, apart from a couple a brief excursions towards 19-20. If I visit the area I don't think I'll be swimming in the ocean. It would be interesting to see what the weather has been like at places like Harrington. Possibly often cool and foggy like Syndey beaches in early November? The nearest NSW 'coastal' stations shown on the BOM site - Taree Airport & Port Macquarie Airport - are some distance inland. Sydney waters seem to have settled at their seasonal average of about 22 deg. I expect this means that sunny days with no strong general wind circulation will max out at a seasonal 24 - 26 deg near the coast.

kizz Weatherzone Addict Registered: 11/02/2002 Loc: Beacon Hill, Sydney 150m asl	Crowdy Head water temperature just getting worse and worse! It was below 14 degrees for a time yesterday.

Southerly_Buster Weatherzone Addict Registered: 31/01/2008 Loc: Southern Sydney	WTF? Hopefully the trend continues towards winter when the Tasman will freeze over and NSW is blanketed in a metre of snow. _________________________ I'm a convicted sockpuppet and troll.

kizz Weatherzone Addict Registered: 11/02/2002 Loc: Beacon Hill, Sydney 150m asl	Crowdy Head SST still gone crackers at 12 degrees this morning. I wonder if there are any reports of hypothermia or cold shock heart attacks around Seal Rocks or Forster way. _________________________ Manly Sea Eagles - NRL Premiers 2011.

Enrique Weather Freak Registered: 8/04/2011 Loc: Port Stephens	im going to guess that the Crowdy head boy has been missreading for a while now. I could understand a day or two of 16c water mid summer, but this is just silly. Port Mac is not overly far from crowdy head and the water temp is 21c.

Steve777 Weather Freak Registered: 20/10/2011 Loc: Sydney North Shore	MHL shows that sea temperature off Sydney has dropped to 21 since the start of the month after being around 23 since mid January. I think it's too early and too big to be seasonal cooling, so I suppose this must be upwelling. Crowdy head has consistently been in the mid teens for months, so as Enrique says, it must be misreading (unless its measuring deeper water).

Enrique Weather Freak Registered: 8/04/2011 Loc: Port Stephens	hmm thats pretty odd, must be a little bit of localised upwelling offshore or an error ( Swell readings are missing from the same time as those dips). Im in the newcastle region and near shore temps were buitiful on fri/sat mornings.

kizz Weatherzone Addict Registered: 11/02/2002 Loc: Beacon Hill, Sydney 150m asl	The Sydney bouy must be catching the western edge of that large anticlockwise eddy. Water temperature now 24-25°C in the brine off Sydney. The new mhl site is loading veeeeeery slowly for me. They may have to tweak this page - http://new.mhl.nsw.gov.au/data/realtime/sst/Sydney as the image is cut off at the right where the temperature is shown. You have to right click > View image to be able to see the temperature. _________________________ Manly Sea Eagles - NRL Premiers 2011.
