Hello Friends

Sorry, I’m late because I went down for a surf at 0630 and have only just got back. Don’t get excited though. It was so inconsistent, weak and gutlessly tiny at Dee Why that we ended up going for coffees instead. The picture I got afterwards was easily the best wave I saw. Maybe as the tide drops it’ll smarten up and the spots that don’t mind a touch of NE wind will start to come good.

After coffee, I headed over the hill to see if Curly was any better. As the picture shows, the answer was firmly in the negative.

Not prepared to give up, I looped up for an inspection of the situation along the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch. Northy was busy as usual because at least it sort of had a little peak in the high tide conditions. But it was very slow and inconsistent. Maybe a fat fishy would be the go.

Finally I stopped for a look at Gardens. Fair number in, but as with everywhere else, the watchword was gutless. Good for paddling practice and working on your low speed game I guess. Water looked inviting too… but by then I’d squandered my time allowance. Dontcha hate that?

Outlook for the next few days is not too brilliant. From the latest run of the models it would seem that tomorrow is likely to be a touch smaller than today and that Friday through Sunday will be really tiny to flat most places.

There is some reason to be hopeful about early to mid next week according to the models. It seems that we might get another dose of s-sse swell from maybe late Monday-early Tuesday. Way too early to lock it in as a done deal, but might be worth bumping your appointments away from that part of the week… if ya know what I mean!

Have yourself a fantastic day!
