Hello Friends,
Seems likely that most Sydney surfers will, like most southern California surfers, be giving it a miss today. The fates are ganging up against northern beaches waterpersons in particular, what with the onshores, rain and the dead whale at Newport potentially luring lots of sharks inshore. The Goat’s call from yesterday is lining up – sadly – with the indicators this morning. Swell is a couple metres out of the SSE but it hardly matters given the other conditions.
On this side of the ditch the weather is quite warm, the skies are blue and unlike the eastern part of the USA, there’s no prospect of a twister suddenly appearing. Sadly, the cold pacific (this morning’s water temp at Santa Barbara pier is up a nudge to 14C) is looking pretty feeble. Even exposed places such as California Street in Ventura (about 45 min south of Santa Barbara) are barely registering anything remotely surfable. That said, I might go scout around anyway…
Here’s a shot of the inside at C-Street. This is roughly 30 percent of the entire break by the way.
Have yourself a good one!
