Waves around Wednesday
Hello Friends,
Not quite as interesting as I’d hoped, but there are waves to be had this morning at the south exposures. Swell’s dead south and 1.4 metres at sea with a period of 10 seconds. So, it’s about the same as yesterday, ie knee to waist with the odd bigger one into the shoulder high range – if you’re at a magnet. If not, well, you’re probably not there for the surf.
Wind was coming lightly from the west at 0730. It should drift around to the N-NE later. Tide was high at 0820 and will be back to low just before 1400. Water’s on 18 and mostly clean. Weather’s looking showery this morning.
Swell looks like fading gradually, but with any luck, there should be little things to mess around on through Friday.
Go well one and all!
