Hello Friends,
High overcast this morning and 8-10 kts of NNE wind greeted 1.4 m of 9-second east bump as the day got started. Showers are heading our way by this afternoon and swell isn’t looking like improving over the course of the weekend. From the look of the swell modelling, we might get a brief south pulse (along with stiff south wind) on Monday. If it goes as well as the more optimistic predictions currently show, Tuesday to Thursday could see fun size and reasonable wind conditions for the morning sessions.
But today, yeah, naw.
Have a great Saturday, mask up when you go out and chase down your vax because the experts are saying we’ll pretty much all meet this nasty critter sooner or later. And as we can all see, the ICUs are filling up with the unvaccinated.
