Hello Friends,
ESE 20-30 knots. Need I say more? Swell is out of the SE and up to 3 metres, but the period is only about 8 seconds so combined with the wind, the ocean is a real mess. I suppose it might be possible to get in the water in a very protected corner, but that short period means most of the energy won’t be refracting into the sheltered zones. The heavy rain yesterday – and more due today – will have turned the ocean into a less than delightful soup of stormwater runoff.
The blasting wind is set to continue from the SE through tomorrow, before backing off a little – but staying onshore – on Thursday.
Again this morning the forecast models are pointing toward Friday-Saturday being fun. The swell should be a couple metres and around to the east with periods close to the 10 second mark. Throw in light offshores and it could be very good indeed. I know it’s just a forecast… but one can dream!
Have yourself a great day!
TIDES: H @0700, L @1245
