"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Junky old morning in Sydney

Hello Friends,

Sorry to run late. Not that it matters too much because this morning sees uniformly ordinary conditions along the northern beaches. A choppy 8 second period south swell of less than a metre is not producing much of interest. I didn’t see a single person in the water from Mona Vale to Warriewood. There were four or five struggling around in the chop at North Narrabeen, but nobody else could be seen from there south to Collaroy. There were a couple stalwarts having a lash around the corner at Longy, and another two or three down at Dee Why.

Wind is out of the ESE at a touch under 10 kts and from the forecast it looks likely to stay that way more or less.

From the cast of the models, we’re not looking too good for the next week along our stretch of coast. In fact it would seem your best hope for a wave on the eastern seaboard will be up along the northern-most surfable coast in Queensland. However, there is a possibility that by Friday we might see a gradual, if slight increase.

Have yourself a good one!

TIDES: H @1030, L @1640
