"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Lumpy and bumpy for the early

Hello Friends,

Looks like a mostly overcast start to the day in Sydney, but there are still a few waves to be had around the place thanks to the 2 metres or so of mainly south 9 second swell. Still some nort. . component in the mix, so conditions are floppy and bumpy with sets at best exposures getting into the shoulder high range. Tide is dropping to theĀ  low at 1030 and then will be back to high at 1620. As of 0700 wind was light from the W-SW. It should go around to the SE then move to NE later.

The Goat should drop a forecast later today, so as always I’ll be interested to see his call. A quick glance at the models says it could be small and marginal through to late Sunday early Monday, but then you might see a little uptick into the fun range.

From Ventura north to Santa Cruz conditions are too junky and messy for surfing. But way down south in southern Orange county, it’s still rideable looking…

SW wind destroying an already weak and choppy NW bump at Campus point, Goleta this morning.
The stormy conditions haven’t smashed Trestles yet. Only 6 people in the water and there are shoulder high sets!!!
