No surfin’ today

Hello Friends,
The pictures tell the story. Nowhere was surfable this morning thanks to the 4 metre, 13-second east swell.
Tomorrow might be a possibility for the super-fit, experienced riders, and maybe Wednesday the options start being realistic for more of us.
Have a good one!
Weather Situation
A deep low pressure system off the northern New South Wales coast is moving away while a ridge of high pressure develops in its wake. This will cause vigorous winds to ease but large and powerful waves are likely to continue during the first half of the week. The next cold front looks set to brush the southern waters on Tuesday.
