Hello Friends,
Another beautiful autumn morning in Sydney but the swell has just about disappeared. As of 0800 swell at sea was a metre at 12 seconds from the SSE, so there should still be the odd surf option at magnets but don’t expect much.
As for the outlook, well, I’m expecting that later today the Mighty Goat will offer a few thoughts on the surf week ahead, so check back later for your dose of wave rider wisdom.
Have a good one!
