Hello Friends,
Not flat, but really small. I reckon if you can score a waist high wave face some place taking the almost-not-there swell, you’ll be a champ.
As of 0800, the MHL buoy was detecting a metre of 12-sec SE – which is more than the models were predicting last night. Your micro wave tool of choice is the option for the summery and high tide conditions this morning. The longish period means the line is quite distinct and not entirely gutless. At 0900 there were a few in the water at the point risking snapped fins along the rocks. Tide was high at 0815 and the wind was minimal. It should gradually settle into the NE and get into the 10-15 kt range.
Outlook for the coming week remains subdued. Tomorrow the Bureau expects N-NE wind and around a metre of swell from the NE. Tuesday sees wind going more north early and then coming around to the SW in the evening. Swell is predicted to stay more or less unchanged from Monday.
As usual, the Bureau doesn’t give a period estimate, so we turn to the models and find unsurprisingly given the swell direction, that we’re likely to see periods in the 5-6 second range for the NE component. There could still be some very small south component in the mix too, but nothing too exciting I’m afraid.
Have a top old Sunday!
