"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Steady rain, massive and messy

Hello Friends

Wind is ESE around 15-25 kts but it looks as though we’re due for a break in the showers following the morning rush hour downpours.

Ocean is extremely messy and disorganised and pretty woofy looking too. Swell is averaging around 5 metres from the east. The period setting is ranging from 9 to 11 sec, so it’s damn big.

I’m really not too confident of finding waves worth picture taking today, but I’ll keep an eye on it for you.

Just saw this tweet from Ian Cairns who’s out in West Oz: “margaret River is 8-10′ with a brisk offshore blowing. Other waves around here will be good today.” If you want to follow him, he tweets as KangaCairns
