Checking it out from afar

Hello Friends,

Looks like another day of puny conditions for Sydney surfers. According to the MHL buoy, it’s about a metre from the SSE at 7 seconds out at sea. And there’s a light SE breeze for the early. The wind is set to go more to the NE later, but there’s no immediate prospect of improvement to surf prospects. Knee to waist, maybe…

Probably best to focus on holiday parties and such because surf prospects are distinctly ordinary for the next few days. Some of the models reckon there could be a significant boost to size for late Sunday into Monday as some NE energy develops up north and spreads southward into the Sydney region. Unfortunately it looks as though it’ll be accompanied by stacks of NE wind… so not too many clean options likely to be on offer.

Meanwhile here in So California the swell is bumbling along in the knee to waist high range at more exposed spots. However, there could be a small uptick on the weekend and then, if we’re lucky, some proper winter juice Mon-Tue-ish… one lives in hope!

Have yourself a great day!
