That’s not very nice Huey

Ugh.

Hello Friends,

Good day for Sydneysiders to tack into Christmas preps because the beach is forgettable in a big way. Stiff southerly blowing the tops off a trashed and gutless south wind swell. And it’s set to go SE later. Honestly, the less said about today the better.

So, thoughts turn to tomorrow, and here I am nurturing a possibly vain hope that the forecast light winds will be playing reasonably nicely with a little left over wind bump. It’s set to be dull and grey and a coolish 20-22 for the early, but maybe, just maybe you’ll sorta be able to splash around on ’em.

Have yourself a fun and safe one everybody!
