Hello Friends,
Swell, but no real quality this morning. So, pretty much in line with expectations.
As of 0800 the wind was 9-14 kts from the SSW, but the Bureau says it’ll be SE soon. As you can see from the pics, the ocean was choppy and lumpy looking. Tide was high at 0540 and swell was 2 m at 11 seconds from the east as of 0800.
We look like having more SE wind and a bit more faded swell for tomorrow, but it should be surfable size (waist plusses) and on Friday the sun’s set to be shining again, with light wind and east swell in the 1.5 metre range.
Go well one and all and catch you tomorrow!
