Hello Friends,
You needed to pick your peak and beach on the dropping tide, but as of 0900 we had sets into the shoulder plus range at the magnets. Tide hits low at 1130 and then is back to a 1.6m high at 1750. Weather should be partly cloudy with a high of 21C – the same as the ocean temp. As of 1000 swell at sea was 1.23 metres from 147° (SE) at 12 seconds apart. So those set should have a bit of oomph.
Swell looks like sticking around today and tomorrow. The Goat will be along later with his thoughts about the coming surf week, so be sure to check back this evening for his words of wisdom.
Go well!
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea will move east to be near New Zealand by Saturday, while a slow moving trough is situated in the west of the state. These systems are directing northerly winds along the coast. Winds will shift west to southwesterly on Saturday as the inland trough pushes north and east along the coast.
