Hello Friends,

If you can find a wave in Sydney – or anywhere else on the east coast – then my hat’s off to you. Exactly as foretold in the forecasts, this morning finds about a metre of weak east windswell lapping our shores.

There were a couple bods in the water at Dee Why when I scoped it a little after 0700. The only person I saw propelled forward by a wave was a person splashing purposefully about in a kayak.

I’m thinking that it might be a day to break out the mask and flippers rather than the board.

Go well with whatever is on the agenda for you today, and stay happy!
