Faded swell fading still

Hello Friends,

Lookin’ very small, but as the picture shows, people are a) in the water and b) some of ’em are catching the knee high sets.

The windswell is out of the ENE at about a metre. Period is averaging just 7 seconds now, but there’s some 9 second stuff in amongst it – which probably accounts for the occasional catchable little one.

The Goat should have a few thoughts for us today I’m guessing, so I’ll be very interested to see what he thinks of early next week. I reckon today’s smallness is basically what we’re gonna get through the weekend. Then if the models are right, I’d say we can hope for something out of the south Mon-Tues. And beyond that, well who knows, the models don’t go much further than Tuesday, but there is an interesting development showing to the east of Fiji on the latest 168 hour WAM data. Just what that might turn into it’s way too early to say, but we can hope it spins up and pushes some energy our way…

Have yourself a top old day!
