Hello Friends,
Beautiful morning out there but surf conditions were marginal to near flat. When I first checked this morning around 0715 the waves were around ankle to knee at the point and not much better at the beach. The MHL buoy was showing 1 metre of SSE at 10 seconds. Tide was coming into the high at 0900.
Wind was WSW and light.
As the day goes along, the wind will swing NE and get up to 15-25 kts. At the same time some of the models are predicting that the power will jump into the 14-16 second range. If that happens, we’ll be looking at a very distinct jump in size, possibly into the shoulder plus range at exposed spots.
Of course I’ll be keeping an eye on it.
In the meantime, have yourself a great Monday and stay happy!
