Hello Friends,
Looks like a partly cloudy start to the day in Sydney with knee to waist and a bit bumps coming in for the morning session. Swell’s about a metre from the east at 9 seconds apart, so we’re not talking heaps of power. But with something appropriate under foot, I’d say fun could be had in that 24C water. Tide’s coming off the high and is currently dropping to the midday low. Wind’s light NW for the early session but will gradually settle around to the NE as the day warms to 27.
Chad and Jeremy? The Goat’s quirky sense of humor is on display in this week’s surf outlook, which, I have to say sounds pretty fun. I’m particularly liking the final line about the further outlook as I shall be back to RealSurf HQ by next Friday.
In the meantime, my prospects for catching a wave here in Cali are not looking overly hopeful. As you can see from the Surfline postcards, the only place to be is 4 hours away down the coast today. I can’t believe that in 5 weeks at the end of winter there hasn’t been one quality day of surf within driving range of my location. Oh well, getting skunked is part of the surfing experience, so I remain philosophical – and looking forward to the warm water of home.
