Hello Friends,
10-15 kts if WSW as the day got started in Sydney. Swell’s about a metre at 10 seconds from the ESE. I’d say knee to waist at magnets. Tide’s low at around 0700 and will be back to high at 1310. Weather should be sunny with a high of 19 – same as the water. The Bureau has a warning for deceptively powerful surf, but I’m not seeing anything in the modelling on that front. Still looks as though it’ll get smaller for the rest of the week and maybe perk up on Sunday or thereabouts.

Crazy uncrowded down south this morning. Sydney weekday size crowds (15-20) at Lowers, HB and astoundingly, Malibu. Dunno what’s going on… Not much of anything here in SB unfortunately.
