Hello Friends,
Smaller than I’d expected for this morning, but there’s still enough energy to produce the odd waist high set if you’re in the right spot along the beach north from the club. Wind was light NW (7-8 kt) at 0730. The longer period swell of yesterday has turned into a metre of SE swell at 9-10 sec. Tide was low at 0640 and will be back to high at 1310. Ocean’s clean and on 18C.
Outlook is for the conditions to continue along at the current intensity today and then tomorrow the models tell us to expect the swell to bump up from the east. But weather is expected to be lightly showery with it. Beyond that, the weekend’s not looking too bad…
Have yourself a great day
