Hello Friends,
You may have noticed that we don’t exactly have beach weather this morning. Cloudy skies, the odd light shower drifting down on the steady SSW wind and no obvious sign of swell. The MHL buoy reports a couple metres of south swell at just 7 seconds apart, but as you can see from the photograph (very grainy because the light levels were so low), there’s really nothing much showing.
The general outlook over the next few days is pretty ordinary. It looks from the models as though we’re unlikely to see much of any improvement until we get toward the middle of the week. And even then, while the swell should push up from the east, there’s likely to be a fair amount of east to ESE wind with it.
If I had to pick a day for the coming week, I’d go for Thursday morning before the wind kicks in again. But that’s a fair way off, so I reserve the right to change my advice as the week goes along!
Have yourself a top old day and get up to some good on the way through.
