Hello Friends,

About a metre of 10-sec SSE swell in Sydney this morning. 7-9 kts of NNW wind and air temps of around 7-8 degrees. Not liking your prospects for a wave, sadly.

No surf on last day in Denmark, but I did see noctilucent clouds last night – which is extremely cool for a weather nerd. Daytime temps again in the mid 20s under sunny skies in southern Scandinavia. We caught a ferry between Denmark and Norway and are now moving north. Very beautiful country indeed.

Noctilucent clouds over northern Denmark. They’re at 76,000 to 85,000 m altitude & mostly only seen this far north and during summer.
Danish coast way too tiny to surf.
Denmark’s getting 42% of its juice from wind.
