Hello Friends,
Hazy sort of start to what is expected to be a warm Sunday. Swell continues its long, slow fade. It was glassy around 0800 this morning and every now and then a knee to waist high line would come in. There were a few people in the water as you might expect under the circumstances. The swell’s out of the SE now and averaging around a metre at sea. The primary period is 9 seconds but the MHL data shows some 11 second component in the mix.
You’ll want something rather buoyant today and it never hurts to paddle out with a relaxed attitude.
Outlook for the coming week isn’t too exciting, but the models are showing the possibility of a brief south pulse arriving on Wednesday. The Bureau says it’ll be a cloudy, showery day with east to SE onshores of around 15 kts. Thursday is set to be cloudy as well, but the winds are supposed to decrease so perhaps we’ll get something at south spots before the pulse fades.
I’m off to the city soon to join Simon Marnie and Rob Brander (aka Dr Rip) for a bit of surfy chat from around 1000 on ABC 702 on the AM band.
Have yourself a great Sunday!
TIDES: L @1200, H @1800
