Near flat for Saturday

Hello Friends,

At daybreak it was a touch under 10C at RealSurf HQ and wind was out of the NW at 5-7 kts. The MHL buoy was detecting only 0.9 m of 9-sec SSE bump.Skies were mostly clear. I did my usual pre-radio report run this morning and can report that it was just about – but not quite – flat.
There were three or four people in the water at Northy where there were knee to maybe waist high bumps sliding in through a glassy sea. From there south to Collaroy and the north side of Long Reef it was essentially flat. Around at Dee Why there were a couple of high tide peaks briefly flickering to life with again knee to waist high bumps. But it was really a case of one or two turns and you’re done.
At report time the tide was running into the 1.34 m high at 0940. It’ll ebb out to a 0.6 m low at 1510.
Looking at the swell models this morning, it would seem Sydney’s facing a week of very small to flat conditions. The very long range projections are currently showing a potential strong south pulse from around next Monday. But they’re also predicting heaps of S-SSW wind with it.
That’ll all be academic for me as by then I’ll be on the other side of the world, from which I hope to send you the periodic postcard (wi-fi gods permitting).
Have a great Saturday everyone!
