Hello Friends,
Last morning of the mini surfari down the coast. Once again it was into the breach of 9-iron reef. Swell faded as expected overnight, but early risers were rewarded with glassy conditions and the odd chest to shoulder high set. And there weren’t too many early risers on it either, so despite Huey’s somewhat leisurely attitude to set frequncy, it wasn’t hard to get one’s share of the morning’s offerings.
Stopped at a little breakfast place just back from the beach at Mollymook where we hoed into the obligatory b&e and mugs of joe.
Back on the road now and your correspondent is sitting up the back with his netbook, tapping out the words he hopes will amuse and enlighten.
My net connection’s dropping in and out, so it’s taken awhile to scan the WAMs etc. The latest run of the models suggests that the energy levels will tail off a little today, but then perk back up into the chest high plus range tomorrow as another pulse fills in. With luck the waves will last through Saturday morning. Winds look like being pretty much standard issue seabreezes, so the earlier the better rule applies.
From the shape of the forecast, we’re in for a run of small to not quite flat conditions along most of the NSW coast as we head into next week.
Enjoy and go well with your day!
