Hello Friends,
At 0630 it was so cloudy that it bordered on foggy. Wind was coming from the south at 4-5 kts and there were half a dozen people chasing waist plus bumps in the beach break. The point was unoccupied and I couldn’t see anyone up toward No Mans.
As of 0400 the MHL buoy was seeing 1.4 metres of 7-second SSE wind swell. The tide was just off the 0715 low at report time and will be back to a 1.5 m high at 1335.
The Bureau tells us to expect 8-20 mm of rainfall across the day as we head to a high of 27. Sea temp is sitting on 19C according to Beachwatch.
Outlook you ask? Well, the Goat has, as usual obliged and as always I commend his profound surf wisdom to you.
Have yourself a top old Friday everyone!
