Take the mal

Hello Friends,

Early was the plan this Saturday. Tide was low at 0700 so the tiny 0.9 m 8-sec east wind bump wasn’t getting swamped. Even so, it was pretty gutless and struggling to get much above the knee high mark. Wind was light from the NNE when I checked conditions at 0620. There weren’t many surf options around, so expect to be cheek by jowl anywhere that’s picking up the bump.

We’re going to a high of 27 today and the wind will do the summery thing and pick up into the 15-20 kt range from the NE by this afternoon. Next tide is a 1.5 m high at 1320, so get in asap.

Tomorrow’s shaping to be pretty similar to today and it appears that we’re going to be stuck in this marginal pattern for another week or so – if the models are to be believed.

Have a top old Saturday everyone!
