Close of play, Friday

Hello Friends,

One of those days when I was checking it every hour or two, hoping the swell would perk up. The swell size at sea didn’t vary much today, but the average period did increase from less than 8 seconds this morning, to almost 10 this afternoon. Should be cloudy tomorrow, but with lighter wind than we had to put up with today, so with luck the swell will stick around and there’ll be some fun ones to be had before lunch.

The current run of the forecast models suggests we might have some waist to chest high waves at the more exposed south swell spots on Saturday morning.

Catchya tomorrow!
