Hello Friends,

Grey and cool again. That would be endurable if Huey was also supplying us something in the way of waves. But no, we have only about a metre of 7 second period south wind swell and the wind’s out of the south. Worse, it’s due to swing SE this afternoon. Talk about adding insult to injury. The Big Guy’s obviously not too cheerful at the mo’.

That’s the quick version, back in a tick with some thoughts about the current state of the forecasts…
