Surf forecast issued Thursday 6 April 2017: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Looks like an improvement in the weather for a few days at least, with waves of <smaller than it’s been> size…
And for something different we have a perfect little window of opportunity opening for the inaugural Round the Bends swim on Sunday from Newport to Avalon… Register here to be part of it, or watch the spectacle from the headlands….

Saturday: closer to 1 metre East South East, with soccasional sets not as big as the day before
Sunday: about 1 metre or so North North East
Monday: down at first or maybe most of the day, then starting to come up at places open to dead South
Tuesday: subject to and depending on the movements of a Low expected to form off the south NSW coast near the Vic border, let’s call it say 2-3+ metres at dead South places in Sydney, with wind
Wednesday: ditto

Water temp is “nice” I’ve been told…
Several of MHL’s waverider buoys – Sydney, PK, BB and Eden appear to have had enough of the recent foul weather, wind and sea conditions and have either floated away in despair or are in need of other technical help. Anyway they can’t tell us about the waves or the temp at the moment.
