"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Teeny-tiny less tiny

Hello Friends,

Yesterday’s wind has left us with a few lumpy, bumpy and gutless little wind waves around the place. Dee Why was just barely twitching, but methinks the likes of Curly and Northy might have some sorta slideable slop burgers. It’s gonna be marginal and weak, but it’s still looking better than anything we’ve seen for the last few days.

Swell is around the 1-1.5 metre mark from the ENE and average period’s sitting on about 8 seconds.

Bureau says the wind will do its NE thing and get up to 15-20 kts this afternoon.

Looks like the early’s the plan and then maybe hope for a rinse and repeat over the next couple of days. Some of the models are getting a little hopeful again about Monday onward, so fingers crossed on that one.

Oh yeah, the 100th anniversary of the Duke’s dmeo of Hawaiian style board surfing is on at the place where it all began – Freshwater. There’s gonna be lotsa events and exhibits and all kinda cool stuff. I’m planning to help out on the surfrider stand at some point and on Saturday I’m planning to get down before daybreak for a longboard photo shoot as the sun rises. Hope Huey plays nice with the cloud!

Have yourself a fine Friday and stay happy!

A trough is near the state’s western border.
