Hello Friends,
Not too fabulous looking this morning. There’s a short period little NE windswell flapping lightly as moth’s wing against the coast. The big ones are around waist high and you’re doing well if you can extract more than a couple turns before they fade away. Not much wind as the day got started, but the Bureau advises that it’ll be kicking up later and that it could be 20-25kts by evening. That being the case, we might get some fun ones at NE windswell spots toward dark.
From the shape of the swell models this morning, we’re probably going to have similar conditions again tomorrow, though if the wind goes hard enough, it should be a bit bigger.
Beyond that, the rune castings make for uninspiring reading. Basically it looks as though we’re in for little bumpy messy conditions until around Friday. As of this morning, the models are calling for a solid south swell to push in Friday night. The big question will be what Huey decides to do about the wind. At this stage it looks as though it could be walloped by strong onshores, so fingers crossed for a change to that particular setting…
Have yourself a great day!
