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

Sunday good for everything but surfing in Sydney


Hello Friends,

Grasping at straws here… it looked utterly flat when I checked Dee Why this morning and the MHL buoy is showing 0.5 metres of SE windswell with an average period of 7 seconds, so you’d have to think there was no hope. But there is some peak component at 12 seconds, so just maybe you might find a very occasional little knee high bomb at an exposed spot.

Being realistic though, you’d have to say that for most of us this is a Sunday that will have to pass into the history books unsurfed.

This morning’s run of the models is sticking with the same microscopic outlook as yesterday. The Goat looks to be right on the money with his call last week – sadly.

The very long range projections contain some slight hope of swell showing up from the south toward the middle of week after next. However to say that is speculative is an understatement!

Have yourself a great Sunday.

TIDES: H @0830, L @1400
