Hello Friends,
Wind has been ESE since midday yesterday and as of this morning at 0800 it was 8-12 kts under gloomy and showery skies. There is swell though. It was 1.9 metres at close to 13 seconds from the south, so sets at the point looked to be in the shoulder plus range. Swell intensity is set to dial back over the next 24 hours but by tomorrow morning the wind is set to be light and SW along with mostly sunny weather. On to other things today with hopes of a bright and surfy Wednesday morning…
