Beautiful morning but only tiny


Hello Friends,

Short version: swell has gone from small yesterday to tiny this morning. Shame too, because it’s looking like being a corker. But then we expected this given the forecasts of the last few days. Speaking of forecasts, the outlook for today is small and getting close to flat by dark. But boy is next week looking interesting on the old charts. I’m looking forward to the Goat’s thoughts on the prospects because according to this morning’s run of the swell forecast models, it could be pumping pretty much all of next week.

So, for today, if you can’t get in the water, don’t fret, Huey seems to be hard at work on something we’ll all appreciate.

Go well!
