Hello Friends,

Surf situation in Sydney looks similar to here in California – ie really small. There were a few little ones again today for Santa Barbara surfers who made the trek or bike ride to Sands. Tide was kinda low when I was out so you were sort’ve hanging up momentarily on the rope like kelp. Imagine speed bumps while surfing. Water wasn’t too bad in 3/2 steamer and booties. I imagine our Victorian visitors brave worse much of the year.

Looking at the models for the week ahead in Sydney, you’d have to say that prospects are neither totally woeful nor terribly exciting. Looks like 15-20 kts of NE wind this afternoon could potentially give you a reason to check the semi-exposed northern ends for a little sideshore diversion. Tomorrow and Wednesday basically look to me as though they’ll be similar, if not a touch bigger than what you find today.

On this side of the ditch, we’re hoping for a little something again tomorrow in Santa Barbara, but the rest of the week looks like a continuation of the very small to flat conditions. Ah well.

Have yourself a top old day.
