From this afternoon…

From this morning…

Hello Friends,

Aw c’mon Huey! First day of the new year, and what have we got in old Sydney town? Knee high dribble that’s what. I really wish I had better news for you, but them’s the breaks, it’s summer time and all we can do is stay positive.

What we have is maybe a metre of 8 second period E by ENE swell, so it’s not exactly lighting up the old Dee Why. I’m going to get out and about briefly later, so I’ll see if I can find another picture or two for ya… but don’t be too disappointed if I don’t end up finding anything.

I’m still hoping we might see a little south pulse Sun-Mon. Monday morning in particular seems to be about the best prospect for lighter south wind and fading south swell.

Have a top old day!
