Hello Friends,
SSW early in Sydney, but south change due later today. Waves looked pretty puny on the cams. MHL was showing a metre of 6-sec SE bump so I reckon knee high at magnet will be doing very well.
Looks like the wind’ll go pretty hard tomorrow, but maybe you’ll be able to find a vaguely surfable lump in one of the corners. I’d be surprised if it was much more than that. Rest of the week in Sydney not shaping to be too extra interesting from what I can see.
Meanwhile here in SoCal, we have some small lines around, but it’s cold and cloudy and sideshore too. Next couple days are shaping to be feeble but then we could see a fresh winter pulse start to fill in, so who knows, maybe I’ll have some more surfin’ postcards to share
Have a great day one and all!
