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

The east energy continues but down a touch

 

 

 

 

Hello Friends,

Out and about this morning and it looks as though the swell has backed off a touch but it ain’t tiny.

Swell is still out of the east. It’s about 2 metres on average at sea with an average period of 11 seconds.

That means overhead sets at exposed spots.

The water still looks pretty ordinary though. The lagoons have broken through and places like Northy look like tea water on the inside.

From what the Goat says (see below) and the look of this morning’s swell models, we should NW wind and solid east swell today. The trend is gradually declining, so it’ll likely be at its biggest this morning.

Go well with your Friday, and if you see me out and about with the camera, say hi!

TIDES: H @0500, L @1100, H @1735
