The east swell continues

Hello Friends,

Hmmm. 3 metres of 9 second period east swell… that’s good. 20+ kts of southerly at daybreak… that’s not so good. Incoming tide to a big high just before 1000 too. Looks like the very protected south corners will be the shot. Everywhere else is likely to be pretty torn up by the southerly (which is set to blow all day).

According to the Bureau, we’re going to have southerlies in Sydney for at least the next 3 days. The swell should be around throughout, but by Thursday it’s expected to be more around to the SE.

Still, at least there are waves of some sort.

Here in Santa Barbara the weather is its usual perfect self (brilliant sunny skies, high around 20 and hardly a breath of wind), but Huey is keeping all the Aleutian surf monsters away from our swell window. Supposedly we’re going to have a little uptick this afternoon, but right now it’s only knee high at best around here. A couple hundred kms south at Huntington, they’re seeing chest high plus. And way up north in Santa Cruz, Steamer Lane is producing head high plus conditions. Oh well, what can ya do?

Have yourself a great day and I hope it includes a few waves for ya!
