Hello Friends,
Light showers under gloomy skies this morning and a SW breeze. Swell at sea was 2.2 metres at 9 seconds from the south (170°). There were waves this morning, but they looked junky, weak and about waist high at best. Take the mal (or your nearest equivalent) if you’re really keen to get wet.
Outlook isn’t too exciting. We might have a few scraps at southeast exposures tomorrow morning and wind should be okay early, but weatherwise it looks like being dull and grey with the prospect of a shower. Right now it appears that Tuesday will be on the cusp of flatness and from Wednesday to the weekend is currently shaping to be unrideable along our stretch of coastline.
Stay safe, get the jab asap and wear your mask. See ya tomorrow!
