Boxing with the day

Gardens this morning

Hello Friends,

Looking forward to a Boxing Day of doing not much of anything at all apart from watching the cricket. Not the greatest surf situation in Sydney either. From the shapel of the weather radar just now, there’d be the odd shower to go with the 15-20 kts of SSW wind and flabby little windswell as I write this. A good day to be inside it would seem.

From the shape of the forecast data it seems that Sydney is in for another week of very small to near flat conditions. There just don’t seem to be any significant storm systems headed for our swell windows. I’d say we’re stuck with the usual weak little knee to waist high windswell from the east south east to north east. Dedication and patience required. Oh and there’ll be rainy and showery conditions across most of the coming week says the Bureau. Guess yours truly chose a good week to be inland, eh?

Keep on smilin’, Huey’ll come good again.

Sydney Coastal Waters, Broken Bay to Port Hacking and 60nm seawards:
Saturday until midnight: Wind: S/SE 15/20 knots, reaching 20/25 knots offshore during the morning.Sea: 1 to 2 metres, reaching 2.5 metres offshore in the morning.Swell: turning E/SE 1 to 1.5 metres.
Sunday: Wind: S/SE 15/20 knots. Sea: 1 to 2 metres.Swell: E/SE 1 to 1.5 metres.
Monday: Wind: S/SE 15/20 knots.


Hope You All Had Great Christmas! From, In Byron Bay Today.

Well folks it’s been a glorious week in Byron Bay. Right on cue, Huey backed off the northerlies and we’ve been blessed with light east to south easterly trade winds all week. Althouigh the northerlies returned today. Some folks have been calling it a no surf week, but I don’t know where they’ve been looking because we found waves every day. The Bay had some little logger waves peeling through and the open side has had some joyous beach break varying from chest to head height for the little white board crew. Anyone who’s been unhappy with the surf must have been unhappy to start with, because most folks we’ve come across this week couldn’t get over how beautiful it’s been. Ok congratulations to Mandy Carney who’s won a free sauna and spa, courtesy of The Kiva Spa at Mullumbimby.. Good on you Mandy, it pays to check the site. Now folks we’ve had so many emails wishing us a Merry Christmas and suggesting we give ourselves a break. So we’ve decided to do just that.  We’re taking a couple of days off we’ll be putting another update live late on Monday night. So there’ll be a fresh update waiting for those of you who return to work on Tuesday the 29th of December. In the meantime we’ll continue to update our weather report every day. Finally from Yoko & Bear we’d like to wish you all a very warm, peaceful and swell filled Christmas break from, In Byron Bay Today.
