Hello Friends,
As of 0700 the wind was light from the north and there was around 1.5 metres of 6-7 sec east wind bump struggling against the incoming tide (high’s at 0850). There were a fair number of bods in the water at Kiddies waiting for the odd knee to waist bump.
We’re headed for a windy and warm day says the Bureau. They’re calling for a high of 28 and the wind that was light early is expected to give way to 20-30kts of N-NE soon. So we can expect some scrappy chest plusses maybe late this afternoon at spots that strike the balance between the wind direction and the wind swell that’ll get pushed up.
Tomorrow looks dicey on the wind front and only slightly hopeful for swell. Basically it looks like whipsawing from north at 20-30 to S-SW to NE to SE. I’m not too confident that it’ll be very surfable at all – too many changes of direction and no real sign of longer period swell. Just looks like local wind bump.
The models are joyless for the rest of the work week and into the weekend. Looks like typical spring conditions of near flat to barely catchable for the most part. Ah well, it is spring after all, so we’ll take what fun we can find.
Speaking of fun, have yourself a fun old Sunday and keep on smilin’!
