Hello Friends,
You wouldn’t know it from looking at the conditions, but the MHL buoy was showing a touch under a metre of 10-sec SSE at 0500 which is up a tiny bit from yesterday. Unfortunately if the Bureau has it right, the swell will fade a little later. And hopes for late Thursday and Friday seem to have gone sour as well by their account. The only hope is that the models’ prediction of an increase in energy levels from 10 to maybe 12 seconds which could bring south magnet spots into the just surfable range by Friday morning. Some models are showing swell coming up around Monday – but with periods dialling back. So, it’ll be interesting to see the Goat’s take tomorrow evening.
Have a great Wednesday everyone!
