Surf Forecast issued Thursday 18 December 2008: seven day outlook for Sydney:
Seven more sleeps till Santa comes!… Or only three till he visits Avalon Beach Surf Club on a warm up run for the Nippers.
He knows who’s been naughty and nice. The A Grade Morons who left broken glass and a smoldering fire (from the old boys bench seat) in the middle of the beach last Saturday night/Sunday morning are clearly in the former group.
Santa thinks it would be nice if anyone who might know the identity of these Losers could let Mona Vale Police know, so that they can be counselled about bad mannered, anti social acts and maybe have worthwhile lives as human beings in the future … People walk barefoot on the beach.
In the meantime… there should be a few waves around leading up to Christmas and even on Christmas day at certain beaches.
Friday: coming up from the South – say 1-2 metres and more at places that like dead South swell.
Saturday: 1-2 metres, dropping to around 1 metre South.
Sunday: about 1 metre or so South East.
Monday: Ditto at first, then coming up a bit more East South East.
Tuesday: in the 1-2 metre range North East/ South.
Wednesday: around the 1 metre mark at places that like dead South swell.
Thursday: Ditto! Happy Christmas!
Water temp’s around 20 degrees.
Stay safe in the surf… and drive carefully if you’re going away.
