Hello Friends,

Looking mighty fine out there folks. Swell’s dropped a fair amount, but it’s much cleaner than yesterday thanks to a morning offshore. According to the data, it’s coming primarily from the south at close to 2 metres and nearly 11 seconds. Tide’s heading down to low at 1105 by which time the wind is supposed to be light ahead of a gradual arrival of 15-20kts of NE’r. Should be fun at south spots until lunch I’d say – then changeover to NE spots.

According to the Bureau and the swell model interpreters, we might have a little something again tomorrow morning, but after that things are looking somewhat more marginal.

Hmmm, I see there’s a call from Mr. Huey… might take that and then get back to you later.

Oh yeah, if you haven’t pledged, please do it, we’re running out of time. Once you’ve pledged I’ll send you an invite to the glittering social event of the year at Deck Bar next Weds night. 🙂
