"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Beautiful morning, but it’s the same old surf story for Sydney

Hello Friends,

Wind this morning was out of the S-SW at around 20 kts, but the Bureau says it’ll soon be around to the south and south east. Swell was coming weakly from the south and was only about a metre at sea. There’s just not much happening wave wise. Checked the Collaroy-Narra and Dee Why- No Man’s stretches and did not see anything catchable with less than a SUP. Waves were ankle to knee high – if that. Water temp slumped late last week and is currently oscillating between around 17.5 and 18.5 – yikes!!

The flatness continues.

Outlook is for the minor conditions to go on for at least the next 48 hours. We might possibly get a tiny bump upward into the just barely surfable range toward the end of the week, but it’s not looking spectacular by any stretch of the imagination.

Ah well, keep on smilin’ and have yourself a top old day.
