Hello Friends,
Another grey, steamy and surfless morning I’m afraid. As the screen grab below shows, the MHL buoy was seeing only tiny, short period, dead south wind bump out at sea. So, no waves for us today, nor it seems for tomorrow. If you’re wondering when we’ll see surf again, have a look at the Goat’s latest ruminations upon our boardriding prospects for the week to come.

Another trough and southerly change is expected to move along the coast during Saturday, reaching the far north in the evening or overnight.
