Hello Friends,
Grey skies again this morning and yesterday’s windblown southerly junk has dropped significantly but cleaned up too. Swell was a touch over a metre from the SE at 9 seconds as of 0600, so there should be little bumps around at places that can cope with the tide. It’ll be high at 0845 and back to low at 1455.
Unfortunately the Bureau tells us we can expect the swell to fade this morning, so you’ll want to get in asap. That said, the biggest sets I saw were struggling to get to waist high, so take the appropriate option from your quiver. On the good side, wind should not be too much of an issue.
The Goat’s surf forecast went up last night and I reckon he’s spot on – as usual!
Go well with your Friday everybody and keep on smilin’!
