Hello Friends,
A light SSW breeze and high overcast for Friday morning. Surf is still in the knee high range and very weak and soft looking. So, yeah, if you’re really keen, take your tiny wave tool and have fun. Bump out at sea has come up a little and as of 0800 was 1.6 metres at 8 seconds from the SSE. Water’s clean and 23C and we’re in for a 29C high with the chance of a shower.
Wondering about the surf prospects for the weekend and beyond? Look no further than the mighty Goat’s latest wave call!
Take care, take the mask and have a great Friday everyone.
