Hello Friends,
Swell’s come up overnight, but the energy seems to all be out at sea where the MHL buoy was seeing 2 metres of 10-sec south swell (164°) even as the waves along the beach looked to be knee to maybe waist high. There were a few people in the water, but I didn’t see anyone catch a wave.
Wind was out of the SW 10-15 kts at sunrise and the first tide of the day was a low at 0835. Ocean temperature is still on 24C.
Outlook is for conditions to stay small today and get smaller tomorrow before possibly coming up late this weekend as a solid south pulse hits and wind goes offshore – according to Wavewatch’s modelling. Alternatively, if the ECM predictions are right, then there is no big pulse but just more of the low energy stuff we’ve been enduring. The Goat will put us right tomorrow evening, I’m sure.
Have a great Wednesday
