Hello Friends,
Got back yesterday – just in time to see the amazing run of swell beginning its decline to more typical summer conditions. It’s not gone yet though. This morning there were waist to chest plus sets and relatively glassy surface conditions. Quite a few bods in the water enjoying the possibility of a few more moments of fun from the fading swell. Tide’s low around ll00 and high near 1645.
Looks like the wind’ll be back around to SE onshore soon, so get in early as possible.
Outlook generally appears to be for typical summer conditions, ie small, weak, often onshore but not totally flat.
Tomorrow reporter Rob heads westward for an exciting new life helping the good folk of Geraldton. Rob is our longest standing reporter after the mighty Goat, so I’m hoping to persuade him to send us the occasional note from his new home. But however that plays out, he has been a real stalwart and a great friend over the better part of a couple decades. Good luck mate!
