More surf in Montreal than Sydney

It can’t be very often this happens… river waves in Montreal were bigger today than ocean waves at Dee Why beach. Here’s the proof:

The surf's bigger in Montreal than the bomb sets in Sydney today!

Ace reporter PB sent this snap from Montreal showing the surf action today. Check out more of his pictures of the action here.

And yes, of course, there’s a Montreal surf site right here!

Not much

Maybe 2 feet when you get up in the AM with calm winds and on the incoming tide after 6:30. Thursday may jump a foot with some indication of a 3-4 foot swell by friday – Saturday.

Still small

And not looking good either. I was at the Bureau last night for a talk on East Coast Lows and before it started the Senior Forecaster gave us a run- through of the weather the last few days (with lots of records broken) and what we can expect looking forward and I must say it did not look too good from a surfers perspective. Ouch. Oh well these things happen and lets try and look on the brightside – it could be raining and flat – instead its warm sunny and flat. The  lesser of the two evils I reckon. Have yourselves a great day.

C C Flat Conditions

Fine, dry and mild on the Central Coast this Wednesday morning.  The swell is ruffled, very small and weak at 1 – 1.5 feet max. from the east.  There is a light  west northwest breeze forecast to strengthen later.  Low tide 0600 and high tide around 1235.  Local barometer 1006 hpa, 14degrees C. 32% humidity.   Have a good one.

Micro Sydney

Not a day for surfin'.

Hello Friends,
Another day of not happening on the surf front. What waves we have are coming from the south, but really, to be honest, you couldn’t call them waves as such. Ripples would be a more accurate description. But that’s what you get when the swell is averaging about half a metre at sea and the period is bumping around the 6 second mark.

The models remain unfavourable for the east coast. Despite a fair amount of activity in the southern ocean, the projections are for the energy to fan up into the Tasman well to the west of us. Looks like the western shores of NZ will go pretty well for size (although the wind’ll be an issue).

Ah well, we all know the energy will be back eventually.

Have yourself a top old day!

Montreal Report – Habitat 67

Looks like there might be more swell on the St Lawrence River today than there is in Sydney, though the locals tell me the recent rains mean there’s too much water on the banks. I guess this is the equivalent of a king tide. Hope my pics have loaded properly
