Grey afternoon, but there waves

1545 and it may be a dull old afternoon, but there are definitely sets.

Hello Friends,

Climbed up into the crows nest to see how the ocean was looking at 345 this afternoon. Dull grey skies overhead, but still some swell about. It seems to be cleaning up a little, although there is a fair amount of lump about despite the generally light winds.

A crew was out at the point hooking into a few shoulder to head high plus sets. Beachy was not nearly as well attended (or at least not the bits I could see). I guess we can expect a shower or two tomorrow morning as the grey stuff will be hanging around. Wind is set to be from the NW early, then swing around to the NE but not blow too hard. Swell will probably be smaller again, but with luck it won’t go into the unsurfable range.

Weds looks light and variable ahead of a SW change, but with more of those dull grey skies and the odd shower The models are still saying we could have some waist to chest high plus ESE swell too.

Also, our man on the far north coast is back in action and he sent me a few shots of the coastal erosion at Belongil. Basically most of the beach is gone…

Belongil "beach"
Carparts, an old door and lotsa rocks at Belongil post-storms.
