Hello Friends,
Back in Sydney again, but like everyone else, I’m asking “where’s the waves??” MHL’s directional spectra model is showing a faint blue crescent from the south around to the east and that says to me that wherever you look, it’ll be much the same wavewise. Since the wind is going to be out of the NE all day, that pretty much means the usual summer suspects. At Dee Why there were knee high sets dribbling in every now and then along the beach toward the pole. The point is not a factor.
And the models have turned all bleak following the Freda no-show. A week ago it looked as though we’d be laughing from about today onward. But no… now they’re showing pretty much nothin’ for our part of the world across the next week. If you want a wave, I’d head up toward the border because if we see anything much above waist high we’ll be doing better than the modelling seems to suggest.
Keep on smilin’, it’ll come good again one day!
