Sydney, Hunter and Illawarra Surf Forecast by Ben Matson (issued Wednesday 5th February)
Best Days: Late Thurs/Fri: strong SE groundswell. Sat: small clean leftover SE swell. Sun: decent but inconsistent E’ly swell.
Recap: A peaky combo of NE windswell and easing E’ly groundswell padded out Tuesday morning before a gusty S’ly change pushed through mid-morning, building a new S’ly swell into the afternoon. Winds are onshore SE today with a moderate S/SE swell that’s really not offering anything worthwhile.
