Autumn is a good time for surfing around Sydney. There always seems to be something to ride. Today served up a fun little 2–3 foot shorey on the 8am high tide, with a few short, punchy ones in the mix. When the tide’s that full, it breaks right up on the beach, so there’s not much runway, but no complaints here. The water is sublime — still warm — and it’s a pretty fine way to start a work day.
After lunch, the northeasterly should kick in, and we’re looking at a top of around 22 degrees. The sun is now out after a cloudy start, and it’s shaping up as an absolute cracker for some beach time. Reports this week also point to a warmer, mostly dry lead-in before wetter weekend weather arrives.
Tomorrow, Wednesday 1 April, the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach waiting period kicks off, running through 11 April, with competition only on suitable surf days.
Looks like small, fun waves for the Easter long weekend, although unfortunately Saturday and Sunday are shaping up wet.
