Hello Friends,
Late start for yours truly this morning but for those who were up early, there were small waves to be had thanks to the minimal change in energy levels since yesterday. An 8 second period east windswell of about a metre is lapping gently ashore on the incoming tide. It’s set to cloud up later with a slight chance of percipitation on the cards, but the high should be a mild 23 and the wind will be out of the north.
From the shape of this morning’s run of the wave models, it appears that we’re in for another 48 hours or so of small conditions. Tuesday is looking as though it’ll be just about flat ahead of that substantial pulse that’s been showing on the models for some days now.
As usual the estimates of the swell size on Wednesday are bouncing around a bit, but I think we can count on it being very big and very windy from the SW. The wind and swell should last for a couple days or so too.
Have a great day one and all!
