Hello Friends,

The MHL buoy off Sydney is showing about a metre of short period NE windswell. Wind is out of the NW and expected to pick up, so your best hope of anything will be at the NE swell magnets which might have a tiny little set every now and then. Dee Why, not being on that list, is just about flat.

Huey seems to be getting into spring mode now and the outlook for the next week according to the swell models is for weak and small conditions. The latest synoptics are showing a persistant and large high sitting over the eastern half of the continent. It’s looking like it will bump the southern ocean lows away from our swell window for some days at least.

Oh well. Big weekend coming up for us political junkies and no doubt the prospect of imminent relief from the Julia, Tony and Bob show for the rest of you.

Have yourself a good one!

Hello Friends,
Ah, now that is interesting. I was hoping we might see a little energy come our way later today, but first light sees some nice looking corduroy effects at Dee Why and a glance at the MHL Sydney data shows a couple metres of 9 second period swell from the south. Wind is out of the WSW at around 15kts on gusts.

The Bureau says it will go more southerly as the day unfolds. Looks like the plan will be to get in early if you can.

Outlook is for this little pulse to weaken gradually over the next 24 hours as we slump back into a stretch of more marginal conditions.

A good mate of mine is out from California atm, so we’re going to make a quick surfari north to see what we can find… if we find anything, you’ll hear about it!

Go well with your day.
