Hello Friends,
The relentless decline continued overnight and yesterday morning’s waist to chest plus sets has now transformed to knee to waist. Swell is pretty south and although it’s only a metre out at sea, the average period is a shade under 13 seconds. Next tide is a low at 0920 and that means the next high will be at 1420.
Swell outlook remains fairly uninteresting for the week ahead. Right now it looks as though we drop to pretty much absolute flatness across the next 48 hours. Then on Friday a south change briefly makes itself felt with potentially waist to chest high sets at south magnets – unfortunately the it looks as though we’ll have SE wind with it. There might be a little something for Saturday morning, particularly for the early, and then it looks as though things sputter out again swell-wise.
Have yourself a great Tuesday one and all and keep on smilin’!
