Hello Friends,
After a bit of rain last night, Sydney wakes up to another brisk and breezy morning under mostly blue skies. The south windswell has pushed up a little. The waits for catchable sets (which are in the waist to chest high range) are not as long as they were yesterday. But you’d still want to be keen with the 11 degree temps (lowered by the wind to something much colder). Which reminds me…
Here’s my annual winter tip: get yourself a big (2 litres or more) container and fill it with hot water just before you leave for the beach. You will not believe how good it feels to pour it down the neck of your wetty when you get back to the car. This is common practice in California during winter (and lots of other cold water places I should imagine). A simple, low-tech and ultra low cost shortcut to comfort.
From the look of the forecast models Huey’s having a change of heart about tomorrow. It now looks as though we’ll basically have pretty much the current conditions through tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks to those of you who’ve offered your unvarnished opinion in the current poll. If you haven’t added your two cents, please take a sec to click. Much appreciated!
Go well with your Friday one and all.
Low tide is at 0856 and high rolls through at 1547.
