Hello Friends,
Not much wind around under cloudy grey skies in Sydney. According to the MHL data, the swell is still out of the south. It’s averaging a couple metres out at sea and the average period is around the 9 second mark. Given those numbers, it’s a surprise to me that Dee Why looks as small as it does. There’s not enough happening to light up the point, and it looks like a longish wait for waist to waist plus sets in the beachy. From the other data on the MHL site, it also seems that Sydney is the biggest surf zone on the east coast.
Looking ahead, it would appear that we’re in for at least a week of small to nearly flat conditions. The swell-making systems just aren’t making it into position for the east coast. Pretty typical for this time of year of course, so it’s not really that surprising. Guess we’ll have to live off our memories of last week’s pulse
So, have you added your five fave Sydney surf spots to our latest poll yet? Intriguing to see Nth Curly and Nth Narrabeen battling out for first place…
Enjoy your day and go well with your plans
