Hello Friends,

Another beautiful morning in Sydney. Blue skies and barely a breath of offshore wind. But… you know what comes next… there’s nary a ripple. According to the MHL buoy off Sydney, we’re looking at around 0.5 m of 6 second east wind swell. Looking like a fine morning for a cruisy paddle or wander along the sand of your favourite beach ahead of a coffee.

There’s no prospect of an improvement for today and, indeed, for tomorrow. The models are not encouraging for the coming week either. If we get lucky, there just might be a little south pulse on Monday, so here’s hoping…

Have yourself a top old Saturday!
