Waves for Monday morning

Hello Friends,

Swell spiked up to 4 metres late yesterday afternoon and as of 0600 the MHL buoy was seeing 2.7 m at 10 seconds from the SSE (154-158°). As the pictures show, sets were into the chest plus range at the point as of 0700. Wind was light from the WSW at report writing time (it’ll pick up into the 20-25 kt range later). Tide is heading to a 1.48 m high at 0920, and then will drop to the 0.43 m low at 1510. Ocean temp is 15°C according to Beachwatch.

Swell forecast is looking pretty good from the Bureau – solid today, bigger tomorrow and lasting into Thursday morning. With luck there’ll still be something on Friday too.

Have a great Tuesday everyone (and maybe check back later to see if I manage to get a few pics during the day…)

 

Nice lines at the point 0710

 

Didn’t seem to me anyone in the water at No Mans
