Hello Friends,
We had mostly sunny skies and a light NW breeze before 0800. Swell was out of the NE at 1.5 metres with periods of 7-10 seconds. Tide was high at 0750 and is now dropping back to the low at 1440. By then the wind is set to be S to SE at 10-13 kts. Sets looked to be in the waist to maybe chest high range on the very biggest ones. Given the swell direction, there should be any number of opportunities to pick up the odd little runner. Water is 23 according to Beachwatch, and today should see a high along the beaches of 31.
Have a good one!
