Energy levels up
Hello Friends,
The east swell’s ticked up a notch this morning and while the ENE wind was bumping the surface, it was still looking okay at 0800. Swell at sea was close to the two metre mark and about 10 seconds apart. Tide was high at 0725 and will be back to the low at 1415. Water is still clean and 22. We had a sprinkle or two overnight and the weather call is for showers developing later with 5-15mm of rain in prospect. Obviously if you’re going for a surf, the plan is to have left for the beach an hour ago.
Weather is going to be showery through Saturday according to the Bureau but worse, we’re set to have southerly gale force wind tomorrow – and it looks like blowing hard south right through to Saturday evening.
Go well everyone!
