Hello Friends,
No need to be up early on Huey’s account. His excellent works were nowhere to be seen at first light this morning in Sydney. A barely there mix of short period south and east swells were lapping softly at the sand as the sun broke free of the horizon. Surfing was out of the question.
The Bureau holds out hope for a gradual increase toward dusk. There just might be something into the waist high range before dark if we’re lucky. However, the wind is set to be strongly offshore during the afternoon, so I wouldn’t build up my hopes too much.
According to the Bureau and the swell models, there is the possibility of a little something into the waist to chest high range at spots that like east swell.
A little east swell to play in after a beach clean up would be just the ticket for the crew from Surfrider Foundation. We’ll be down at Manly to celebrate International Surfing Day by combing the famous sands for any rubbish we can find. The crew will be there from about 0800.
