Hello Friends,

Another warm day coming up for Sydney. Positively summery in fact. Sadly, the swell situation is also summery, ie about a metre of 5 second period NE wind swell. A 1.7m high tide at 0900 isn’t helping either. The outlook is little changed this morning. We’re not likely to see much of significance over the coming week. A few days ago, Saturday had looked a reasonable hope for east swell spots. It still looks better than this morning’s offerings, but not by very much.

Just for fun, I’ve had a look at the prospects for waves at Bells for the contest. From the shape of the charts there might be a bit of swell next week, but the latest long range modelling isn’t showing anything epic thus far.

Gotta jam, have a good one!
