Hello Friends,
Looking at the numbers for Sydney, I’m not really sure how possible it is to even catch a wave this morning. There’s only the faintest little shading on the MHL buoy spectral data chart. It looks to be under the metre mark at not quite 8 seconds from the ENE. High tide’s at 1050, so there’s that too. Wind was light offshore early, but it’s going to go southerly and then south-east later. Throw in the cloudy weather and 60% chance of a shower and it’s really not a recipe for a good surf day at all.
The longer range outlook remains, shall we say, quiet for Sydney. According to some models there might be a little something on Thursday/Friday… maybe…
Have a top old day one and all!
