"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Friday

Hello Friends,

Over many years I have observed a peculiar relationship between surf movies and surf. It is more or less axiomatic that if you go to a surf movie, the more stoked it gets you, the greater the certainty that the next morning will be micro. Having watched Tim Bonython’s ASMF premiere day Wednesday night, and then seeing the superb Bombora last night  (about which more later), I guess it should come as no surprise that things are pretty marginal this morning.

Swell settings seem to be just about where they were yesterday morning, ie little waves out of the ENE courtesy of a metre of 7 sec period windswell. In other words, if you found something there yesterday, go back again because it’ll probably be about the same.

I’m gonna head out for a sniff around to see what I can see… might try to file a vid update whilst I’m about it.

Here’s the official word from the Bureau:

Friday until midnight: Wind: NE 10/15 knots. Sea: about 1 metre.Swell: E’ly about 1 metre.
Saturday: Wind: N/NE 10/15 knots. Sea: about 1 metre. Swell: E’ly about 1 metre.
Sunday: Wind: N/NE 10/15 knots.

Tide is low around 1020 and then ticks up only slightly to a high around 1629.
