Waist and a bit at NE magnets early

Hello Friends,

The Bureau’s forecast (see below) notes ‘Very little change to this pattern is expected over the next few days.’ So, what we’ve got is pretty much what we’ve had for the last week – namely not much. As the pictures show, most places are just barely surfable. The NE wind bump is about a metre out at sea and because it’s only 6-8 seconds apart, it’s gutless and struggling to make the waist high mark even at magnets like Northy.

The wind was 10-15 kts NE from early and it will build to 15-20 kts before long. Tide’s heading into a 1.7 m high at 0900, so on top of everything else, it’s fat and full too. And just to round out the picture, the Bureau says we can pretty much count on seeing a shower or two across the day.

Outlook for the week ahead is not looking all that interesting on the models – for the most part. They’re generally calling for a steady supply of small mainly east wind swell along with onshore wind. Several of the models are showing 12-13 sec east swell Mon-Tue, but after that the consensus is flat to near flat for the back half of the week. Here’s hoping they’re under calling it.

Have yourself a top old Saturday everyone!
