Hello Friends,
Steady rain and low visibility to start the day, so all I can tell you at the moment is that the swell at sea is still SE and around the two metre mark, but the average period has dropped from 10 to 8 seconds (although there’s still some 14 second component in amongst it). There’s around 20 kts of southerly as of 0715 and the forecast says it’ll be moving around to the SE later. Not the best.
From the shape of the forecast this morning, we’re in for junky SE’ly wind and on again off again showers through close of play Wednesday.
I managed to go shooting at the weekend and will have a couple fresh galleries from yesterday to post later this morning.
Have a good one!
Tides: H @0620, L @1200
