Hello Friends,
As expected, the swell intensity has decreased from yesterday’s levels. But as of 0700 there were still chest to shoulder high sets. Wind was lightly from the NW and swell was around 2 metres at 11 seconds apart from the SE. Tide was high (1.45 m) at 0645 and is currently headed to the low at 1235.
The swell’s expected to fade this morning and the wind should pick up from the north soon.
Outlook is for a springish sort of week with knee to waist and the odd plus mainly from the south, but there’ll be wind issues with lots of side to onshores. Getting in early will likely the best general strategy.
Have yourself a top old Monday everyone!
