Postcard from Cali, glassy arvo in Santa Barbara

Hello Friends,

As expected, the wind’s been blowing steadily from the SE since last night but it’d started to fade by 0900-ish and as I write this surface conditions on the Surfline cams look a bit choppy, but not terrible. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there’s anything much above knee high. And what there is looks like weak, short period wind bump. So, if you can’t get in, you’re not missing anything.

Both the GFS and ECMWF models are not looking great for Sydney. If they’re right...
