Hello Friends,
Looks like a morning to pass on surfing – at least if the situation overnight stays the same…
MHL’s Sydney buoy was picking up half a metre of east wind chop at 0500, so I don’t imagine that will improve dramatically by start of play.
Tide was high a little after 0400, so on top of the puny swell, it’ll be fat.
Only slightly better in southern California as the picture of Swami’s down toward San Diego shows…
