Hello Friends,
Back from a trip to the high desert of California. Apparently I missed no waves.

Sydney for Weds is looking like a case of desperate conditions for desperates only. Swell’s down around the one metre mark at about 9 seconds from the SE. From over the horizon I’m guessing knee to waist high at exposed spots – before the wind blows it flat.

Outlook is for smallness until the weekend when, with luck, we might get a little pulse happening in Sydney.

What the Bureau says
tides: L@1030, H@1650
Wednesday until midnight: Wind: W/NW 15/25 knots, increasing to 25/33 knots during the morning.Sea: rising to 2 to 3 metres. Swell: E/NE about 1 metre.
Thursday: Wind: W/SW 20/30 knots.Sea: 2 to 3 metres. Swell: S 1 to 1.5 metres.
Friday: Wind: SW/S 15/25 knots.
Chance of a shower around the middle of the day, otherwise fine with
lengthy sunny periods. West to northwest winds becoming strong and
gusty.

Got a couple
