Dour morning
Hello Friends, Sunday was a good morning to stay in bed for Sydney surfers. At 0730 the skies were clouded over, the ocean was an unappetising grey, and worse, what paltry little swell we had on Saturday was pretty much gone. I say pretty much because people were in the water having a go at […]
Greyness early
Hello Friends, Looking grey and grim it has to be said. Almost no swell about either. The buoy data from up and down the NSW coast is pretty much the same: about a metre of short period east windswell. Here in Sydney the average period is sitting on a choppy 6 sec, so you’ll be […]

So, it’s going to be something of a replay of Saturday’s toasty conditions, but maybe […]
