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 the NW.

From the shape of the models, it looks as though the wave energy tomorrow could be similar, but the expected south change tonight could still be at work for the early.

On this side of the lake we’re still waiting for the energy levels to bump up again. The big north Pacific storm systems are not getting into the right window for soCal. By this time next month though, it should be firing up.

Have yourself a top old Monday!
