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

Hey! Little waves!

Hello Friends,

A little 8s SE swell is providing a few small diversions at spots that like that sort of thing. Nothing too huge because it’s only 1.5m out at sea, but there should be the odd waist high set around the place. Tide’s high at 0915 and low at 1600. But the afternoon sesh will probably be pretty ordinary if the Bureau is right. They say the wind will be out of the south at 20-30 kts by then.

oops radio time, back in a tick with thoughts about the outlook…
