Hello Friends,

Sunny skies over the coast of Sydney, and it’s set to pretty much stay this way through the weekend. Sadly, the swell forecast models were right and though all the other settings are good – the one we all care most about – is stuck fast on the sub-marginal setting.

The MHL buoy off Sydney is reporting a metre at 8 seconds. That might be just barely enough to give you a mal-able ripple if only the primary direction had a touch more east to it…

I’ve been scrutinising the models, looking for anything to offer us a bit of hope. The Goat’s call for the coming weekend is looking to be right on as usual. The problem for surfers in our little corner of the world is that we keep getting strong high pressure systems coming across the continent which then shunt the nice lows in the southern ocean away from our swell window. Typical spring weather really.
