Hello Friends,

Only a metre of 7-sec SE wind bump to work with this morning in Sydney. Tide was low at 0520 and at report time the wind was a barely-there westerly zephyr under hazy grey skies. Another morning for getting some exercise on the SUP or going for a swim etc because you’re unlikely to find anything much above the knee high range.
As the day warms up (we’re due to reach 28), the NE seabreeze will kick up into the 10-15 kt range. But there’s not much prospect for improvement to the surf conditions today, or even across the next few days. So, if you find something to mess about on, enjoy and plan to get back there again tomorrow.
Longer term, the models seem to be settling on a positive change toward the end of the week with some pointing toward to (potentially) shoulder plus south swell with periods in the low teens.
Your correspondent is off to Manly shortly to help out on the Surfrider stall at Ocean Care Day. Stop by and say hi and maybe buy a ticket in the Ultimate Quiver raffle ($5 for a shot at 7 grand’s worth of boards!).
Have a top old Sunday!
