Sunny, glassy and knee high
Hello Friends,
Another beautiful morning along the beaches with only the tiniest trickle of wave energy coming in. The best exposures to the 0.9 metre, 7-sec easterly are seeing knee to occasionally waist high little bumps. From the look of the swell models, we should start to see a small uptick in wave heights over the next few days. The peak will likely be on Thursday when swell could be around the 1.5 metre mark at easterly magnets, and periods in the range of 8-9 seconds – ie only slightly more surfable than this morning’s paltry offerings. Water’s nice though, and the bluey invasions haven’t been too awful thus far.
Get into your Monday everyone!
