Tiny in the wee small hours
Hello Friends, Just a quick head’s up for the early risers. At 0100 the MHL buoy was showing only 1.6 metres at 7 seconds from the ESE. Wind was about 10 kts from the SW and the first tide of the day is a low at 0500. Looks like there might be a wave or […]
Windy Sunday start for Sydney
Hello Friends, At 0720 the NE’r was already going 15-20kts, Swell was still more SE than anything else, but it’s dropped a bit to under 2 metres and period has come back a couple of seconds from yesterday.

Monday morning prospects and postcards from Cali
Hello Friends, Heading to a high of 24 today in Sydney. Tide’s currently running out to a low at 1150. Swell is out of the SSE at a metre with an average period 10 seconds, so there should be a few little options about, particularly this morning while the wind’s still light and mainly from […]

Postcards from Cali: Rincon from the water
Hello Friends, At about this time yesterday, I was in the water at Rincon. I’d driven down there on speculation. It was hot and sunny (not as hot and sunny as Sydney though!) and when I got sight of the ocean just south of Santa Barbara, there seemed to be tiny lines. A couple more […]
