Hello Friends,
Back to micro this morning. A few people were getting their exercise by paddling around, but it looked as though the best waves were struggling to get above the knee high mark.
Nice morning though.
Swell at sea was sitting on 0.9 m at 11 seconds from 171°, Wind was coming from the W-WNW at 6-8 knots under sunny skies. Tide was high at 0630 and will be back to low at 1205. Ocean temp is sitting on 18C.
Wondering about the surf outlook? Well, it being a Friday, we have a fresh dollop of the wisdom of the Goat to consult this morning, and as always, I commend it to you.
Stay safe everyone, wear the mask when you go out and get the jab organised asap.
