Hello Friends,
The picture tells the story. Grey skies, grey sea and gutless dribble for Sydney surfers this morning. The wave shown above was at Curly. There were two people out and it had been a long wait for it to turn up.
So, a good day for other activities.
Be sure to check back later to see what the Goat has to say about our surf prospects for the weekend and beyond.
Go well!
