"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Only small – and the wind’s coming

Small and there's a carnival
Hello Friends,

Swell’s stayed about the same overnight, so if you aren’t put off by the odd shower and onshores, you should be able to find a messy little something in the waist high range. It’s gone a touch more to the SSE overnight and although there’s an average height at sea of around 1.3 metres this morning, a typical period in the 11 second range should ensure that it isn’t hopelessly gutless. After 0730 the tide starts coming back in, so that may give it a little push in terms of size. The main issue is going to be the wind which the Bureau tells us will be SE at 15-20 kts.

Back in a tick with a picture or two (waiting for a shower to pass) and some further thoughts…
Tides: L @0730 H @1220
