Another quiet one

Hello Friends
Seems as that we have another day of microness in Sydney. The MHL buoy is showing about a metre from the south at around 6 seconds apart – much the same as it’s been for the last few days. So another day of nothing much in the way of wave options. Go for a fitness paddle or a swim or snorkle eh? Should be fine, sunny and 25 so it’ll be a good day to get outdoors even if surfing’s not happening.
From the leatest run of the models, it looks as though there might possibly be a little something around from the NE on New Year’s Day, but I think if there is, it’ll be marginal waist high stuff for the most part. At the outer limit of the prediction range, some interpretations of the data are showing a small south pulse around Sunday. The most optimistic of these reckons shoulder high is a possibility for south spots. We can hope I guess!
Anyway, enjoy the day and go well with your plans.

Weekend warriors weren’t put off by the somewhat junky conditions mid-morning at No Mans and Long Reef on Sunday 29 August. Sets were into the shoulder high range and there were...
Saturday morning saw a couple metres of south swell with a period of about 10 seconds lighting up beaches around Sydney. South Narrabeen was looking tasty early with offshore conditions...
What a great weekend! So what if Huey didn’t deliver as expected – the sun shone, the wind blew offshore and there were waves! I burnt a bit of petrol cruising round...
