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

Pretty quiet
Hello Friends,

Another sunny and mild day coming up. Tide seems a bit too high for the small (1 metre) ESE swell. The 11 second period is staving off absolute flatness. However, it could be a close thing as the tide drops, because the swell is fading too. This morning’s forecast models are projecting flatness from tomorrow through to Thursday morning when we might see some junky south swell activity start to build. At this stage it doesn’t look like building much though – maybe a couple of metres briefly at the peak (but with a fair amount of southerly).

Longer term outlook currently seems to be for waist to chest high toward the end of the week with a possible brief excursion on Sunday into something bigger – but it’s supposed to be south swell and south wind again. It seems as though we might be heading into a more spring like pattern of brief pulses of windy south swell punctuating increasingly longer marginal to flat spells.

Keep on smilin’ and have yourself a top Monday!

ps: still doing the groundwork for the crowdfunding campaign… thanks so much for all the encouraging responses!
