Hour before sunset: 1-3ft with a very odd bigger one. Low energy ocean. Light onshore wind.

Steve - given the size in sydney, why are you thinking it won't be much up your way?

Re: Where did you surf today ?
how big in Sydney?
I've heard varying reports.
looks a stormy 6ft from photos I've seen.
Which is close enough to what I'm expecting here.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
It''s just interesting to compare MSW forecasts/reports and the actual reality in a highly hyped swell event.

They are saying 11.5ft at 15s.
4 stars.
Here's the actual surf about a half hour before sunset.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I think we'll lose a fair bit of that because the fetch is tucked in pretty tight to the NSW coastline.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
There’s no way you’ll see it up there though. Way too angular. Wait til the morning and let’s see what it looks like here

3-40knots SSE at Cape Byron, howling outside.
if that wind doesn't moderate or swing SW by midnight tomorrow might be a no surf day.
I'm so glad I backed my instincts and put the bird in the hand when it was there rather than waiting for the peak of the swell.
Figured out from bitter experience these windy S swells can be a massive hoax.

the big pay off were all the nude chicks sunbaking along the stretch i was at. i walked about km going past identical bank situations just for the scenery.

Well, Sydney is a blown out mess. Maybe there will be waves in the harbour. I just hope we get some new banks.
