Aw, c’mon Huey

Weak little NE windswell gets into Kiddies.

Hello Friends,

From the look of the latest MHL data for the east coast, we’re back to marginal conditions from Eden to Byron. Here in Sydney the buoy is showing around a metre of 7 second period NE windswell. As my picture of Kiddies illustrates, Dee Why’s not exactly a magnet for these particular conditions.

You can probably find something to putt along on at the more easterly facing stretches. But as Ted the Kiwi’s already noted, even there the prospects are, shall we say, modest.

The Goat hasn’t weighed in yet, but my guess is that he’ll look at those entrails and come up with something along the lines of small to marginal over the next few days…

Have yourself a top old day!
