Hello Friends,
Hope you got wet at the weekend because there’s nothing much showing this morning. The MHL data is showing a mix of 9 sec period SE swell of about a metre and some tiny NE chop left overs from yesterday. We’re in for another unseasonably warm and sunny day and from the shape of this morning’s forecast modelling the flatness will continue through to the end of the week. Looks like a good stretch to get some work done – unless of course you’re in school hols mode and had been hoping for a few waves. I’m pining my hopes on Thrs arvo and Friday morning.
On a brighter note, the crowdfunding drive benefited from a nice burst of generosity over the weekend. Again, a huge thanks to all of you who’ve pledged so far. We only have three weeks left to find at least $2400 in pledges. 800 bucks a week basically. Can it be done? Over to you!
Have a top old Monday and keep on smilin’!

This front will enter the far southwest later tonight and move through the state during Tuesday bringing gusty strong to gale force winds. This event will be followed by a second, weaker front on late Wednesday. Behind the front another high pressure ridge is expected to develop across southeastern Australia on Thursday.
