Hello Friends,

0700: junky and inconsistent, but with the right equipment you can catch one.

Grey start to the day along the beaches of Sydney. The Bureau says it’ll gradually brighten up as the day goes along. The wind’s currently light and out of the WNW but it shouyld begin to freshen and by this afternoon be in the 13-18 kt range. 

The little windswell that was showing up at places like Queensy and Curl Curl yesterday afternoon, is out of the east at about a metre on average. The period is still on 8 seconds – as it has been for the last three days or so.

0600: WRL cam shot of Gardens suggesting a few small possibilities.

There were a couple folks out on SUPs at Dee Why when I grabbed a snap at around 0700. They were doing a fair amount of waiting between the sets, but the bigger ones looked okay. Nothing special, you’d have to admit, however, the water’s warmed up and it’s not completely flat. However, I wouldn’t be expecting much at Dee Why compared to other stretches with more reasonable orientation to the current swell direction. 

General outlook on the models remains fairly ho-hum. What we have now looks like going along in much the same vein through Friday. Beyond that the Sydney region’s prospects are not terribly exciting – basically it looks like small to nearly flat conditions. Hope to be proven wrong of course!

Not huge or anything, but a definite line showing...

Generally speaking, it looks as though your surf options are better up the coast than in the Sydney region. The WRL cam up at Snapper is showing an acceptable line coming around from the SE. Bet there’d be a few options around there this morning. Might have a look at the cams in a minute to see if I can spot anything interesting…

Have yourself a top old day!
