Hello Friends,
I’ve got an hour to kill waiting for the big bus to California, so I’ve had a quick squizz at the buoy data for Sydney. Not a pretty picture it has to be said. Swell’s out of the E by ENE at about 8 seconds apart. Average size at sea is a paltry metre – and the trend appears to be heading downward. Probably the best thing to do at this point is to head off to Vicco. Looks like they’re going to be getting some serious swell over the next couple days. Sydney’s looking decidedly ordinary on the other hand.
Ah well… if it makes you feel any better, I’ve just looked at the conditions where I’m heading and it’s not looking too likely that I’ll have anything to crow about. In fact it looks just as uninteresting in southern California as it does here. So it goes.
Have yourself a great day and if you must get wet, I’d be taking the biggest, floatiest object in the quiver.
