Hello Friends,
Our swell energy has dropped down a notch overnight and this morning saw a small SE line showing at the better exposures. It looked to be mostly in the knee to waist high range, but with the odd slightly bigger one. Out at sea, the MHL buoy was seeing 1.3 metres of 8-second energy from 124°. At 0600 the wind was a barely-there 4 kts from the WNW and tide was filling into the 1.65 m high at 0815. Water was clean and 23 °C.
From the look of the swell models, it should stay more or less the same all day, but be down into the sub-waist high range tomorrow and Monday. The middle part of the week currently looks like being messy and onshore and small.
Go well with your Saturday and take that Aloha spirit with you this morning because there’ll be lots of waiting around between rideable ones.
Weather Situation
A weakening high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge along the New South Wales coast and towards another, stronger, high pressure system near Western Australia. Although the ridge of high pressure is expected to remain along the coast, a series of troughs are forecast to pass to the south over the coming days.
