12 November gets underway in Sydney, but where's Huey?
Hello Friends,
Another lovely morning for Sydneysiders. Pleasant touch of cool as the day got started. Skies were clear and winds were light. Swell is coming from the SE at about 8-10 seconds apart. Sounds like the perfect combo eh? Sadly, the average size of the swell at sea is maybe 0.5-0.75 of a metre and that means it’s just about flat. I suppose you might possibly find a little mal-able bump at the most perfectly exposed stretches of beach, but being realistic, this is looking like a good day to pass on a surf hunt in Sydney.
My reading of the models is that we could possibly get a slight uptick into the barely surfable range tomorrow, but then it seems set to drop back on Saturday-Sunday. I’m not sure if the Goat will feel well enough to examine the entrails today, so I’ll kinda step on to his patch to just give you a heads up re early next week.
The WAM data has been bouncing around, but in the latest run for our part of the world, the super computers are showing a pretty broad area of high seas extending from the deep southern ocean into the lower extent of the Tasman this weekend. If it comes to pass, we could possibly see some solid long period south swell as early as late Sunday, but more likely by Monday afternoon.
Right now, the wind call is for offshores on Monday, swinging southerly, but not going too hard, on Tuesday. The models are talking a couple metres of south swell at a very punchy 15 seconds. Here’s hoping!

If I were in Byron Bay today, and wasn’t grateful for that which which Huey laid out before us? Then I’d have to stop and check whether I’ve still got a pulse or not. It was just one of those days when it’s actually hard to concentrate on anything, because the bay looks so ridiculously inviting that every time you look at you get overwhelmed with the urge to strip off and leap in the water. This place can have that effect on a bloke, even a hardened crusty salty old dog such as me. The surf wasn’t that good, in fact there was not much at all, but on a day like this who gives a rats?
