Waist plus in Sydney but not in SoCal

Hello Friends,
Looks as though you might have a few more showers today. Water quality at most Sydney beaches yesterday was rated ‘pollution likely’, so that may need to be a consideration again today.
Swell was close to 3 metres at sea and nearly 9 seconds apart but also pretty straight south. Wind was SW early, so right on the high tide at 0710 you’d probably find waist plusses at standouts. Wind is set to swing south later though…

Once again, the surf situation in Santa Barbara is basically flat. There are waist plus waves well north of here on the California central coast. Sadly the outlook is not too wonderful, so once again, just a couple of grabs from the local cams to share…

Audience for the non-surf at Campus Point in Goleta…

Morro Bay on California’s Central Coast was picking up some waist to chest high bumps good for long boarding. Water around 13-14C

Weather Situation
A slow-moving high over the Southern Ocean will extend a ridge along the coast through the weekend and into next week.
