Hello Friends,
Swell power levels have bumped up this morning. The dominant direction was SE, the average height at sea was 2 metres and the average period was about 9 seconds. There was also some 11 second component so every now and then a quite distinct set would show in the generally sloppy conditions. A high tide (0800) was swamping it and the wind was out of the (baleful) ESE at 10-15 kts.
The weather is set to clear to partly cloudy later but the E-SE wind is set to stick around all day. However it may weaken as we get into the afternoon hours, so perhaps surface conditions will get a little less sloppy… we live in hope!
Outlook for tomorrow is back to smaller but with lighter onshores.
Go well with your Thursday and keep on smilin’
