Hello Friends,

Not the prettiest morning and not much in the way of wave energy, but it’s not quite as flat as yesterday. The MHL buoy is showing 2 metres of 8 sec SE wind swell, so we’re looking at waist-ish at the bigger spots I’d say. Wind was light westerly when I grabbed the snaps at 0630 but the forecast is for it to turn east to SE by late this morning. Tide was on the way to high at 0745.
And the outlook? Well, as he has for the past couple of decades now, the Goat has brought his considerable experience to bear on the models’ output to make a few predictions for the coming week.
Have a great Friday everyone and keep on smilin’!
