Amazing! Very surfable looking peaks along the stretch from Marquesas to Flight Deck.

Hello Friends,

Spent most of the day wrangling computers, then at dusk decided to get out for a walk – only to discover that there were some quite reasonable looking peaks popping up along the beach from about Marquesas down to Flight Deck. Didn’t have my binos with, so couldn’t really see what the situation might have been further north, but I’d presume there would’ve been a few peaks up that way too.

From the look of the MHL trace, the period kicked up briefly to around 8 seconds at about lunchtime. The average size of the NE windswell out at sea has stayed around the 1.5 metre mark all day, but there could be some bigger sets in the mix, because peaks out at sea are getting toward the 3 metre mark.

It looks as though we might have a bit of a replay of the conditions tomorrow. The Bureau is calling for a couple metres of NE swell. So, depending upon what happens with the period, there could again be a few bits and bobs around at NE spots. Wind looks set to be a factor with NW of 15-20 kts in the am, building to 20-30 kts from the W-NW in the afternoon as another front develops.

The week ahead is currently shaping up to be small and marginal, but with at least the hope of a small wave as a pulse develops from the SE toward Weds.

Anyway, hope you’ve had a great weekend and that things are lining up nicely for ya!
