Hello Friends,
This morning’s proceedings in the Sydney region will be dominated by a high tide at about 1000. Wind wasn’t a factor early, but by lunch we should have a standard issue NE sea breeze which will then build into the 15-20 kt range. There’s not much windswell around this morning, but it’s not quite flat. Out at sea the MHL buoy is showing a metre from the SE at around the 8 second mark. At Dee Why there are sets into the waist high range, but for the most part it’s smaller than that.
From the look of the forecast models this morning, we’re not in for any significant improvement to surf prospects today. For the longer term outlook, I’m lining up with the Goat’s latest thoughts on that front.
Go well one and all and stay cool!
TIDES: H @1000, L @1625
