Hello Friends,
A ho-hum end to a ho-hum surf week as the wave energy levels fade back to micro again. Out at sea the 7-second NE wind swell is 1.4 metres. So even the best exposures will be offering only lazy, weak knee to waist high wave faces on the best sets. We’re headed to a toasty 28C high along with NE seabreezes for this afternoon. Water temperature has cogged back to 19C.
Outlook you ask? Well, the ever reliable source of surf wisdom that is the Mighty Goat, rolled out a fresh forecast late yesterday afternoon. Check it out here.
And I have a date for your calendar beach lovers: 4 pm on Saturday 27 November. On that afternoon I plan to take a stroll along south Narrabeen for a look at the brutalist seawall that is our new coastline. I wonder if anyone else will have the same idea…
