Hello Friends,

Half a metre. From the SSW. 5 seconds apart. Yep, it’s flat.
And there’s no real prospect of an improvement until tomorrow, when we might see a very slight uptick into the just barely catchable range at NE spots.
Judging by the swell models this morning, we’re looking unlikely to see anything much in the way of surf until late in the weekend or even Monday. Between now and then it seems we’re in for short period wind chop. Ah, spring…
Have yourself a fine old Wednesday one and all!
