Hello Friends,
The day kicked off with a band of showers coming in from the south along with 15-20 kts of SE wind. Overnight the swell out at sea swung from the ESE to SSW and the period dropped from 12 to just 6 seconds. So, it’s pretty much onshore, tiny and gutless. Sorry to say, it doesn’t look as though things will improve for a few days yet.
Have a good Monday everyone!
