Hello Friends,

Looks as though the primary swell direction has shifted to the east overnight. “Swell” might be too big a word for a metre at 7 seconds apart though. High tide’s about 0730 and wind’s comparatively light from the E to SE along the Sydney coast as the day gets rolling.

While today looks like a good one for doing holiday stuff rather than going to the beach, the forecast models are still holding out hope of some sizable e-ne wind swell in a couple days.

If the forecast’s right, you could be looking at an ECL forming up off the Qld/NSW border and then moving south. Potentially that could mean sizable (overhead) waves from around Monday to Tuesday or so. Wind however is likely to be a major issue as the models show the system staying pretty close to shore.

It’s pretty much flat over in southern California today as well, but I’m nurturing hopes for Mon-Tuesday…

Have yourself a great day!
