Hmmm, thats not what it looked like in Sydney :?

By late morning it had gone onshore, and the swell period was getting short too. A good solid 6ft though.

Yeah, Bulli was just missing the swell.
The bigger waves were closing out across the shelf on the point and the swell was too NE to really get big on the beach.
This is the left hander side Point

Anyone been monitoring the surf for the southwest U-to-the-K? It's looking pretty tasty!

Next Saturday is apparently 6ft swell, 17 sec period, 11mph offshore, and nice weather to boot!

Looking good from about thursday! :D

My new job is yet to discover that, on occasion, I "work at home". They may be about to discover this later on in the week :wink:

Yup. Its firing.

Looks a bit bumpy and blowy out there though :?

And the weather looks cold n' wet too!

Sadly, I cant "work at home" today after all, so I'll have to wait until this evening, but this swell seems to be holding for a few days, so its all good :D
