Hello Friends,

Although it’s pleasant enough now, the Bureau says we’ll be sweltering by this afternoon when strong, hot NW winds bring inland heat to the coast. If only there were some reasonable waves around. There were a few folks trying to work out a way to catch the tiny, gutless lumps washing weakly into Dee Why this morning, but their success rate was somewhat patchy. Not terribly surprising when you look at the MHL buoy data for the Sydney region. It’s showing a little over a metre of 7 sec period east windswell. And that works out, typically, to wave faces of not much more than waist high – on the big ones… at exposed spots.

As usual, I concur with the Goat’s call for the coming weekend and start of the new week. The models are still holding out hope of something interesting from the south around mid next week. You can get a plausible idea of how the weather forecasting computers are calculating things will play out by watching an animation loop like this one from stormsurf, or this one from NOAA the people who own the computers every surf forecaster relies on.

Hope to get together another batch of interesting links for you to check out later…

Go well!
