"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Bankable this morning

Hello Friends,

Looks like a nice morning for a little surf session – as long as you can find a bank. Swell seems pretty straight and in the 8-10 sec range for period. Wave faces should be in the waist to even shoulder high range on the biggest ones. Wind is light for the early. Tide’s dropping from the 1.7 m high at 0600 to the low at 1250. Should be a mostly sunny and warm day with the wind gradually picking up from the N-NE toward midday. Ocean’s on 21C.
