Hello Friends,
Swell was hanging in there from yesterday. As of 0500 it was 1.4 metres and coming from the E-ESE at 9 seconds. At 0800 the wind was out’ve the south at 8-10 kts so the point wasn’t too choppy yet.
The Bureau says the wind’ll be 15-20 kts this afternoon, so getting in early is, as usual, the best bet. Tide was high just before 0500 so by the time it hits low at 1130, the wind’ll probably be doing its thing. Throw in the grey skies and 80% chance of showers and you’ll be wanting to dial up the stoke a fair amount.
Outlook is for the SE to push along through tomorrow afternoon. At the same time the swell should come up a touch too. There’s the prospect of a late afternoon switch to SW Hmmm. Maybe a chance of something interesting for the late?
Have yourself a fine old Sunday everyone!
