Hello Friends,
Sunday was a good morning to stay in bed for Sydney surfers. At 0730 the skies were clouded over, the ocean was an unappetising grey, and worse, what paltry little swell we had on Saturday was pretty much gone. I say pretty much because people were in the water having a go at the knee to waist high dribblers which would appear every now and then at Dee Why beach. However, the east windswell is struggling to be a metre at sea and the average period is down around the 6-7 second mark. Weak and gutless perhaps overstates the power on offer.
The models continue to show this rather abject lack of surf situation prevailing into about midweek for Sydney. Right now if you had to pick a day for a surf, I’d be leaning toward Wednesday…
Ah well.
Have yourself a great day!
