Sunny start to Friday with some small waves
Hello Friends,
Lots of blue sky as Friday morning kicked off. Wind was out of the NW at 3-4 kts as of 0730. Swell has faded to around the waist high mark. Out at sea it’s 1.2 metres at 7-8 seconds apart. First tide of the daylight hours was the 1.6 m high at 0715. By the time it gets back to low at 1420, the wind’s expected to be 15-20 kts out of the north.
Wondering about the weekend’s surf prospects – and beyond? Then have a look at the Mighty Goat’s words of wisdom from yesterday evening…
Go well everybody!
