Getting on toward lunch time and the expected wind has arrived in Sydney. It’s 25-30 kts from the SSE now, but a couple hours ago, while it was still a zephyr, I joined a few others down near Marquesas for some high tide silliness. Set waves were maybe chest high on take off, but when you kicked out 20 metres later, they were around knee to waist high. Gutless as too thanks to the very short period. But what the hey, we were in the water and catching ’em.
I’d say the wind has reduced options for a clean wave to about zero. With luck it’ll push things up a bit and who knows, maybe tomorrow morning there’ll still be a little something left around to play with.
