Waiting to rock off the pool at Collaroy this morning.

Hello Friends,

Plenty of swell, but it was just so raw that nowhere really stood out as offering terribly exceptional conditions. Between the strong wind and early high tide, you really had to be lucky. I just had another look and the ocean is pretty torn up looking. Wind’s fresh and from the south at most places, but despite having a SE tilt, the swell’s 10 sec period isn’t quite enough to pull into the protected corners with any significant size. It’s a different story on the exposed stretches of course, there are still some solidly overhead faces to be had – if you dig onshore conditions.

The swell has peaked and is now declining slowly. While the wind looks like continuing in much the same vein for the rest of the day, the Bureau’s latest call is for light and variable going around to a NE seabreeze tomorrow. So I’m hoping that conditions will tidy up a little and that high tide spots will have something amusing for the dawn patrol. If it’s chest to head high on the sets, I’ll be a happy camper.

Finally, a big thank you to each of the following good folk who’ve bought RealSurf a coffee – or better!
