Hello Friends,

0800: smooth, inconsistent and small but not flat.

What a glorious morning in Sydney. Shame about the very tiny conditions. Dee Why was smooth and glassy as of 0800. There were a few people in the water enjoying the opportunity to catch a few soft little peaks too. The MHL Sydney and Port Kembla bouys have been offline for a few days, so I’m guesstimating that we have something in the range of a metre of mainly south swell with a period of around 7-8 seconds.

Here’s the Bureau’s call:
Wind: SW 10/15 knots inshore, 15/20 knots offshore, easing to 10/15 knots throughout during the morning before turning NE 10/15 knots during afternoon, N/NW later. Sea: 1 to 2 metres. Swell: SE 1 to 2 metres.

According to the various swell models, we’re in for smaller again tomorrow, and then it looks as though we have a week of flatness lining up for Sydney surfers. Basically it looks like a mainly fine week weatherwise with gutless, microscopic NE windswell from about Tuesday through the weekend. Time to get out the mask and flippers or the fishing rod I’m guessing.

I’ll be spending the day at a geek fest devoted to WordPress, the platform on which this site now runs. Trying to pick up more tips to build a better RealSurf for ya. They have wi-fi at the conference, so I might turn up here again later in the day.

Go well with your plans and have yourself a good one
