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

Smooth and small to micro

Hello Friends,

Nice looking sky as Thursday got started in Sydney. Ocean was smooth with only the tiniest of lines appearing every now and again. Wave faces were struggling to make waist high on the biggest ones. Only a few folks having a go at the point as of 0700. A sole kayaker was trundling around in the shories.

Outlook is still in line with the forecasts of the last few days. More smallness it seems until maybe Sunday arvo when we could see some very long period easterly energy. It’ll be interesting to see what the Goat thinks about the Monday-Tuesday period because I’m certainly liking the look of the forecast models.

Tide was low at 0730 and will be back to high at 1330.

Have yourself a great Thursday and keep on smilin’!
