Hello Friends,
Definitely some waves around this morning for Sydney – and the Bureau says it’ll pick up later. From what I can tell it’s around the chest to shoulder high range at good exposures. The swell looked kinda close together but the MHL buoy is showing 2 metres at 11 sec from the SSE. Water is 20 and wind should be SW most of the day. Looking ahead, well we have the Goat’s latest forecast to mull over.
Went for a drive with a mate this morning and can report that Santa Barbara has no waves whatsoever but there were little glassy bumps at Ventura’s California Street. They were real weak so I wasn’t feeling too bad about not getting amongst it.
Weather Situation
