Hello Friends,
Again we have light wind and some waves along the beach and at the point. Latest data from offshore was showing 1.3 metres of 12-13 sec energy from the east. Wind was around 8 kts from the NNW. Tide was dropping to the low at 1245. Ocean temp is on 22C according to Beachwatch and they are reporting good water quality at all beaches.
As for the outlook, well, today should hang in there at the current settings where swell’s concerned. Wind is set to pick up from the north as the day warms up to 29C along the coast.
Go well with your day and wash those hands, maintain distance, don’t touch yer face, cough and sneeze into your elbow!
