Hello Friends,
Swell has dropped again overnight, but it was still around 1.5 metres from the SE at close to 14 seconds apart on sets. Exposed locations should be in the waist to chest range, with maybe the odd bigger one. The Bureau expects the swell to drop into the metre range and to swing NE soon. But worse, it looks as though the average period will drop to a choppy 5-7 seconds. So, the takeaway is to get in quick.
Wind’s going to be NW but turning W by midday.
Outlook is for conditions to be pretty marginal for at least the next few days and I’m really not liking the long range projections. A few days ago there seemed to be some prospect for the weekend, but that hope has faded from the reckonings.
Have yourself a fine old Wednesday everyone!
Tides: H @0755, L @1340
