Minimal wave prospects for Tuesday

Hello Friends, Outlook for waves this morning is a sparse one. The MHL buoy hasn’t reported in since yesterday evening, so the only live data I could see at 0530 was the North Head wind reading of easterly at 10-15 kts. The Bureau says you should be seeing 1.5 metres of east which I’d guess […]

ESE wind early

Hello Friends, 10 after 7 this morning and at North Head the wind was 15-20 kts from the ESE. The MHL buoy’s latest data was showing 2.5 metres of 8-sec SE wind swell.

You could surf… at the right spots

Hello Friends, Nice looking morning coming up with knee to occasionally waist high sets at SE magnets. Tide was high at 0700 and will be back to low at 1340. Should be sunny and 31 later, so you won’t be astounded to hear that the wind’ll be NE by lunchtime. Get in now and enjoy […]

Postcards from Cali: break in the weather

It rained pretty much all day yesterday, but right on dusk there was a break and I headed out for a look at the situation. Swell had cleaned up quite a bit after being very junky all day and there was even a little wan late afternoon sunshine. I checked west of Santa Barbara (closer […]
