At 0600 the swell is a gutless 6 sec period south at about 2 metres out at sea. Wind is SSE at 10-12 kts along the Sydney coastline. I reckon that will mean that it’s a pretty good day to miss the early.
Conditions don’t look like improving much at all as we head into the weekend. Maybe early next week we’ll get a little something…
