Hello Friends,
When I checked it on dusk last night, I was worried that we might be waking up to more of the same this morning – ie grey, sideshore and messy. But we have a glorious sunny Sunday morning and comparatively tame winds for the brisk early. Fair number of bods on it of course. Patience is definitely required as the swell is pretty straight south at a couple metres with a 9 second power setting and therefore only the optimally aligned sets are pushing the bar up into the shoulder high range.
Wind was lightly out of the west as things got started this morning, but the forecast is calling for it to swing around to the s-sw later. With luck, that should mean reasonable surf conditions through to lunch time at south swell spots.
Latest run of the wave forecast models doesn’t look too cheerful for our region. There should be small waves around for a couple more days, but the trend is predicted to be downward toward flatness around midweek. Here’s hoping they prove to be unduly pessimistic.
For now, it looks like a day to be a weekend warrior. Enjoy!
