Hello Friends,
If you’re really keen and not put off by weak, small and junky onshore conditions – this is your morning to get amongst it. The 15-20 kt SSE wind was hammering the surface conditions and making the anemic 1.5 metre 7-second period SSE wind bump look, well, bumpy. But good on those hearty few folk in the water for not letting the stoke fade. Great to see such indomitable enthusiasm.
The Goat will be along later today with his weekend/week ahead thoughts, but I have to say, looking at the models, I’m not super hopeful we’ll see any significant improvement in the near term…
Go well with your day, keep on smilin’ and keep on maskin’ inside public spaces.
