Surf forecast issued Thursday 11 June 2009: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Surf’s up for the young and fit – those who can handle the cold – which apparently includes Don but excludes me – I’m painting anyway, and I don’t mean Picasso painting. I think the snowchilled wind went through to my bones up high on the south shady side of the house..no way did I want to get wet after that, even though the water temp is very pleasant. Anyhoo…
Friday: easing back form today but still around2 metres at places that like dead South swell.
Saturday: in the 1-2 metre range
Sunday: about 1 metre or so
Monday: about the same.
Tuesday: coming up form the South again, about2-3 metres.
Wednesday: about 2 metres South.
Thursday: in the 1-2 metre range South.
