Hello Friends,
The waves continue. As expected, it’s smaller than yesterday, but there were still chest to head high and a bit sets as the Tuesday got started. Lots of folks in the water for their approved outdoor activity, so expect weekend/holiday crowds wherever there are waves.
We had clear skies and 8-9 kts of chilly NW breeze before 0900. Tide is coming in to the the high at 1035. Out at sea the swell was 1.4 m at 11 seconds from the ENE (113°). Ocean is still on 19C.
Weather Situation
A ridge of high pressure extending from a high over the western Tasman Sea is leading to North to northwesterly winds along the coast. Winds becoming fresh to strong on Wednesday and Thursday as a trough approaches from the west.
