Hello Friends,
Glassy start to Saturday morning along the beaches. Skies were overcast and swell at sea was out of the NE at 7 seconds with an average height of a metre. As the pictures show, waves were in the knee to waist high range. Wind should come up from the SE later this morning and there’s a 70% chance of showers. First tide of the daylight hours is a swampy 1.8m high at 1115.
Outlook is for conditions to be similar tomorrow morning, although the wind may get into it earlier.
Have a good one and mask up!
