Big and wild

Hello Friends,

Anything open to the south is pretty sketchy this morning. If you’re determined to get in, check the protected corners. But know your limits because there’s heaps of energy in play thanks to the 4-5 metre 8-12 sec SSE swell. At daybreak the wind was WSW at 14-16 kts, However, the forecast calls for it to double this morning and to get more south across the day.
Tomorrow is shaping to still be big, but wind will be southerly, so my bet is Monday will be the go as the swell dials back and the wind plays nice.

Go well!
