"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Early riser prediction

Hello early birds,

This is Don with his best guesstimate for conditions at first light on Saturday (made last night, as usual). Remember, your mileage may vary. I’ll be along with an updated report at around 0715.

There could be a few showers left this morning, but the outlook is for it to fine up and reach a high of 20.

Not overly impressive outlook for Saturday morning in Sydney. In fact, it’s downright ordinary. Wind is set to be out of the NW at 20-25 kts ahead of a late morning SW change of 20-30 kts. The Bureau says swell should be 1.5 to 2 metres from the NE, but I reckon we’ll be lucky to have that much. Period is likely to be sub-8 seconds, so if you find something in the waist high range at an open beach such as Curl Curl, I’d say you should feel rather pleased with yourself.

Tune into the weekend show on ABC 702 when I’ll give my latest most up to datest take on our surf prospects for the weekend and beyond. You should hear me right near the 730 news headlines!
