Late arvo update

Hello Friends,

When I ran out of things I could do to get the site working again this arvo, I took the only reasonable action under the circumstances – I went for a wave! And when I get back, ‘lo, things seem to have stabilised again. I decided against joining the 50 or so bods at DY point and instead took the long board out for a few at the Kick. Some fun ones came through and PB reckons he got his best Kick wave ever. Anyway, here’s a pic to give you a feel for the sets…

Just on dusk, I climbed up in the RealSurf crow’s nest for a last look at the point. Some very solid sets coming through as the sun sank in the west. Wave faces on the bigger ones looked to be in the 1.5x overhead range.

Just had a look at the MHL data and the latest update shows the swell has gone from 2m at 10 sec from the south this morning, to 3 metres at 12 seconds late this afternoon. It still looks as though the swell will hit peak size overnight and then begin a gradual decline through tomorrow. but it should stay solid and fun size into the early weekend.

Thanks for putting up with our patchy service today. We’re scrambling to organise more resources, but it’s possible that things could be bumpy tomorrow if we get another big influx of traffic. That’s the challenge you face with a big redesign and move – until you go live, you just don’t know for sure what’ll happen.

Go well with your evening!
