"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

It’s an ordinary old morning

Rather a sad scene on the surf front this morning.

Hello Friends,

Huey is not smiling kindly upon the east coast of Australia this morning. Here in Sydney we have about a metre of 6 sec period NE windswell. Great keeness is required for these conditions. However, there is a glimmer of hope for improvement early next week.

It looks as though we have to put up with tiny ENE conditions through about Sunday, but then (assuming the models have it right) we might have some solid south to the SSE swell – with stiff south to SSW wind.

The usual caveat applies, namely that this is a best-guess estimate arising out of computer models. Your mileage may vary. Interesting though how often those models basically get it pretty close to right. Over the last decade plus of working on this site, it seems to me that they’ve definitely improved their accuracy.

So, between now and next Monday, it looks like we can all carry on as we were. But I’d be keeping the schedule in flexy mode…

Go well with your plans today, and if you have time, have a squizz at the new Friends of RealSurf shop…
