Hello Friends,
Running a bit late today. Looks like Sydney’s not doing much surfwise. Hardly any swell showing on the MHL buoy and stiff 20+ kt NW wind should mean marginal knee to waist at places that like the metre or so of 9-sec period SE swell.
Monday for the early looks like a bit more potential with swell due to bump up a touch.
Tue-Wed looking like mornings will be the best shot for something in the knee plus range.
Over here in Cali we’ve had a couple of days of small west swell. Water’s about 19 and wave faces were anywhere from chest to head high at standouts. I surfed around midday at Mesa Lane in Santa Barbara and had a few fun things. Water’s around 18 or so which is damn weird for this time of year. After I got out I took a few postcard shots for you…
Have a great Sunday one and all
Weather Situation
A slow-moving trough and associated southerly change lie near the Queensland border, while a low pressure centre is tracking east along the New South Wales/Victoria border. This low is expected to deepen as it reaches the south coast later this morning, generating strong to gale force southwesterly winds over southern and central coastal areas, before moving steadily away to the east tonight. Conditions should continue to ease during Monday as the next high pressure system drifts across from the west, becoming the dominant synoptic feature during the first half of the week.
Forecast for Sunday until midnight
