Surf forecast issued Thursday 26 January 2012: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
First of all… Happy AUSTRALIA Day!! Hope you’re ALL celebrating being part of this great country – no matter who you are, where you are, or where you’re from – focussing on the positives, or more accurately the Net Positives. My own ancestors came here a long time ago early in the century before the last one – some in chains, some voluntarily – hoping for a better life for themselves, their children and descendents than the ones they had in their various countries. I’ve seen a lot of places and in terms of Net Positives I’m very grateful they came, or were forced to come, here rather than anywhere else in the world! Have a happy, peaceful, tolerant, respectful and safe Aussie Day… and Year!
Next… for the surf… Well there’ll be some, which is better than none – of varying quality over the next week…
Friday: in the 1-2 metre range East North East
Saturday: 1-2 metres East
Sunday: 1-2 metres East North East
Monday: 1-2 metres North East
Tuesday: coming up from the South East say 2+ metres – but of course with S wind
Wednesday: 1-2 metres East South East
Thursday: 1-2 metres East
Water temp is fluctuating around 23 or so, as the currents swirl around.
