Full tide swamping it early

Hello Friends, Getting the pictures and Bureau forecast up for now… Looking very fat, slow and lumpy at the point and along the beach at 0700.  Wind is SSW 12-15 kts and tide is heading to a deep 2.03 m high at 1010. Should get to 22 today with the odd shower under mostly cloudy […]
