Hello Friends,
Dropping tide in Sydney, 3 metres of SSE swell at close to 10-seconds as of 0600, WSW wind (going SE later), low tide around 1050 and sunny skies means the morning session is on at lots of places this morning. Exposed spots should see overhead wave faces and even the smaller places should be at the upper end of the chest to shoulder range. You lucky pups!
Meanwhile in SoCal we had a little front come through and drop 25mm of very welcome rain (they’re experiencing exceptional drought conditions) overnight, but this morning sees a post-frontal NW wind of 15-25 kts tearing the microscopic wind swell to bits. Saw a surf school trying to catch knee high dribble right inside at Rincon (where it’s somewhat protected) but everywhere else was hopeless junk. So jealous of Sydney right now.
Bureau says Sydney’ll be onshore all day tomorrow, although the swell will come up too. NE + south swell spots look the best shot.
Speaking of shots, here’s a postcard for you
Have a great day!
