Hello Friends,
Warm 32C and sunny day on tap for Sunday. But finding anything in the way of a wave above knee high will be a real challenge. There’s still some 13-second dead south swell at sea, but it’s only a metre out there, and it wasn’t obvious when I checked the situation at Long Reef around 0730. Folk were bobbing around hopefully, but I didn’t see anything above the knee high mark. Conditions were otherwise absolutely perfect with a light straight offshore breeze under cloudless blue skies. Great morning to be out and about.
Outlook is for it to remain near flat to very small through to close of play Tuesday, but right now it looks as though there might be some little bumps at south magnets on Wednesday and Thursday.
Stay well and go well one and all!
