0730: you could have had these little close-outs pretty much to yourself...

Hello Friends,

Your correspondent currently providing a battleground for flu bug and immune system. Away side currently dominating. Turning sub-functional grey matter to surf prospects, I note that average size and swell direction (1 metre from the south) have not changed much since yesterday, but Huey must be feeling a bit like I do (this is known as the pathetic fallacy to literature types), because he’s bumped the power setting down to a gutless 6 seconds on average.

There is some 9 second stuff still in the mix though, and I have no doubt the little line I captured in my daily photo is one such. Based on that one set, I’m prepared to guess that you might find the occasional knee to waist high thing to ride your fish or mal on.

The Bureau’s marine forecast starts out on this somewhat laconic note:

Synoptic Situation
A low off the south coast is expected to deepen today and will persist there on Wednesday before moving further east to the central Tasman Sea on Thursday.

What that looks like meaning for us, is a little SE pulse and a fair amount of WSW wind (20-30kts) on Wednesday. Right now the models are calling for the swell to stick around for about 24 hours, with the peak happening during the day.

Have yourself a top old day!
