Hello Friends,
A faintly cool late summer morning with partly cloudy skies and 10 kts of SSE wind before 0700 as Tuesday kicked off along the beaches. There is a bit of swell around, but the 1.8 metre high tide at 0720 was making the already textured conditions fat and full. Swell at sea was coming from 149° at 1.7 metres with a period of 9 seconds. We’re headed to a high of 19C and there’s a chance of shower this morning. Wind should come up a bit more and swing more SE. Water’s around the 23C mark.
Surf prospects remain pretty marginal looking through Thursday, but Friday still appears promising for the early at spots that like south swell and don’t mind a swampy high tide.
