The last few flat weeks in August were boiling hot. September was cooler, and way more consistent on the swell front. So far October has been like some kind of winter renaissance.
Gusts of SSW wind up to 90km/h in Sydney and surrounds on Thursday October 9 damaged roofs and brought trees down on power lines, keeping emergency crews busy.
Of course the low pressure system that whipped up those winds moved out over the Tasman Sea on Wednesday evening and into our swell window.
Thursday morning dawned windy and cold. A fresh, raw south swell peaked late afternoon in the 8-10ft range at exposed south facing locations.

There weren’t too many surf able options on Thursday in all honesty though. It definitely was the biggest south swell to hit Sydney and surrounds so far this year. It was a total bummer though that the exposed sections of coast picking up the 8-10ft bombs were totally blown out. The extremely protected south corners were the only surf able options. The south corners were more like 5-6ft with some bigger sets here and there.
