No surfing for Sydneysiders
Hello Friends,
The numbers tell the story. As of 0600, there was just 0.7 m of 8 second SSE bump offshore and the wind was coming from the north at 8-10 kts.
Weather should be partly cloudy as we head to a high of 24C – a mere 7.5 C above historical averages for this time of year.
Surf prospects look weak for the coming few days at least. Some models are showing a little uptick into the knee plus range for south magnets on Monday (when the weather call is for showers). As the week progresses, we may see a little east influx that could potentially see us getting waist plusses mid week and maybe even into the shoulder plus range at south spots from around Thursday.
Go well with your Saturday and stay safe everyone.
