Sparkling Saturday surf morning

Hello Friends,

Glassy, sunny and offshore for the early session along the beaches. Swell faded overnight, but there are still a few shoulder high plus sets at the magnets. It’s due to continue to fade across the day, so hitting it earlier rather than later looks to be the plan. Wind was NW 7-11 kts as of 0700, swell at sea was 1.35 m from the NE at 8 seconds apart and tide was coming into the high at 0800.

It may shower this afternoon, but tomorrow looks to be another sunny one, albeit with fewer wave options. Monday is shaping to be very small, but hopefully not dead flat, while Tuesday could see the odd interesting option and then Wednesday we might see something in the waist to chest high range for the early…

Go well everyone!
