Hello Friends,

Special request if I may: are there any accompanists on the northern beaches with a spare hour on Sunday? If so, please drop me a line via the feedback link (I’ll reply to all responses this evening!)

The big south swell peaked yesterday at nearly 5 metres off Sydney. As this morning got started, it was closer to the 2.5 metre mark and the downward trend is likely to continue all day. The incoming tide this morning is going to be the best shot for most (south) spots.

Outlook for tomorrow is looking pretty marginal. Should be some little ones still showing up out of the south at the magnet spots but I wouldn’t be amazed if it was getting into the flatness range by lunchtime and then staying there for Sydney surfers until Tuesday when, on current reckoning, we could see another little 1-2m south pulse.

Get out there and enjoy your Saturday!
