"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

Small with occasional sets for Saturday morning

Hello Friends,

There were still a few very occasional SSE chest plus sets in the mix this morning but for the most part the energy was coming from the ENE in the form of a soft, 8-9 second 1+ metre wind swell. Wind was light and WNW at 0630 and it should stay out of the westerly quarters all day. The 1.45m high tide at 0645 was making it pretty fat and full too. So, it might be an idea to take along your weak wave surf tool this morning. That and a fair degree of patience. There were still a few clear breaks before 0700, however we’re looking at an 80% chance of 2-5mm of rainfall later.

Outlook is for the waves to continue at more or less the current intensity through Monday (according to the more hopeful models).

Go well with your Saturday one and all!
